As far as the 'passing' The State Exam: I'm waiting on my results from the Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors (aka BORPELS, for obvious reasons). I took my final exam in April and the bulk of the results were released on September 8th. My results were not in that 'bulk' though. I've talked to a friend who passed, and a few other friends who didn't, and they all received their official notices on the 11th. The names of those who passed showed up on the official license list on the morning of the 12th. My name is not on the list, but I also did not receive a letter saying I failed either. What is keeping my hopes up is the fact that 118 people passed the exam (out of 507) but only 97 licenses have been issued. There are possibly still 21 license numbers up for grabs. There is to be a second mailing of official letters on the 25th; I'm hoping to hear something by then. I'll keep you posted.
For me, the licensing means that the last 18 years actually means something - it's taken a long time to get here. In this new office, I'll be one of two licenses in a shop of 12-14 surveyors. (As the new guy, I'll be the low man on the totem pole for a while, but as far as the State is concerned, I'll be #2, second only to the owner.)
If you're so inclined, you can check out the State test results here.
You can look for a particular license here. Just put in my name (just the last will do), or the city of Kerman. When I pass, it will be posted here.
If you really have nothing to do, or are just curious, this is the BORPELS page.
Also, I was elected to be the 2007 Treasurer for the San Joaquin Valley Chapter of the California Land Surveyors Association. By the way, I've been the Chapter webmaster for about three years now. You can check that out here.
