I always thought being a surveyor would be a cool gig. Get to be outside a lot, use some math but not too much, get to look at old maps and stuff.
I've done some surveying. It's p cool.
I put it in the same camp as most residential construction subs. Requires some specialized knowledge, but experience is paramount. I think the major downside of it is that the "best" season to get work completed is late fall to spring prior to leafing (clearer lines of sight). Which, unfortunately, is a lot of super shitty weather. And the super-busy construction months like May, June, and July are just a total fucking disaster of 90+ degrees, 100% humidity, ticks, and fucking sweaty machete work.
You can make a relative shitload of money being a surveyor though.
