I've just been chatting to a land surveyor (someone who uses a GPS and TST properly) about their chartered institute (RICS).
£250 per year, need to be qualified to degree level, need to attend CPD regularly, to join you have to be continualy assessed for about 2 years and it is dominated by suits rather than real surveyors. He is not a member and has no problem getting work.
Compare and contrast...
Perhaps we have little to fear from the Royal Institute of Chartered Archaeologists!
