How I Found My Passion for Surveying After secondary school, I had a dream of becoming an engineer, but I wasn’t quite sure of the path to take or even when to start. One seemingly ordinary day, an opportunity arose that would change everything. I accompanied someone on field work. On that site, a surveyor was present, and he did something that left me completely fascinated—he described the layout of the entire land without having physically visited it before. His explanation was precise and vivid, based entirely on the data he had analyzed. That moment sparked a deep curiosity in me. How could someone know so much about a place without being there? I began asking questions, researching, and learning more about the field of surveying. With every new discovery, I realized just how much more surveying entailed—geometry, precision, technology, and an ability to connect the physical world with data in ways I had never imagined. Inspired and driven, I decided to take action. I quickly switched my course of study to surveying, and I haven’t looked back since. Over time, my appreciation for this profession has only deepened. Surveying is not just about mapping land; it’s about understanding and shaping the world for sustainability. That decision has defined my career and opened doors to endless opportunities. Sometimes, all it takes is one moment of inspiration to lead you to your true calling.

1moOmo for me, I no go lie😅😂😅...FUTO connected me to the love of my life today Surveying, I was on my path to mechanical engineering until the needful happened,...I'm really greatful though. I heard of Surveying once when my secondary school did parents, teachers career day ,..One of my coursemates Dad was a surveyor and my English teacher's husband was a surveyor too, they spoke about the Career path. I only know they were rich people really didn't bother making more research on it. Weldone sir.🙌
