Join us as we interview people from a variety of trades to discuss what a day in their life is like, what kind of pay you can make in their field and what skills are required to break into the industry. We strive to offer students a path outside of college where they can have a stable, financially rewarding career.https://blue-collar-narrative.captivate.fmyesepisodicnopodcastTo Be A Surveyor/Dirt TechTo Be A Surveyor/Dirt TechThis week we speak with Matt Desmond of AGTEK.
