Wow, Dennis, I'm honored. Thank you.
I've been off-line for a bit as I've just landed a part-time teaching
position
at a local community college, or I'd have replied sooner.
Thanks again,
Stef

Subject: What's in a Job Title ?

I have picked up bits & pieces about the job title for one who does drafting. Some stand by the longtime
term of draftsman, while others object. In recent years, we have always called the drafters, which has
drawn (no pun intended) no complaints, but what about some of the job titles in the surveying profession?
Are rodmen & chainmen now rodders & chainer? Are instrumentmen now instrumentors? I have tried to use
the term Surveyor's Assistant, but that is a catch all phrase, that really doesn't define the specific
duties of the job, like the old titles do. What do you think?
