Which industry is better than surveying and mapping?

I am engaged in surveying in geological units. From my own experience, I feel that the geological prospecting industry is stronger!

Surveying and mapping industry is a comprehensive application industry, in the final analysis, it is to play mathematics, but now mathematics has been replaced by computers, and the technical content has been greatly reduced; Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and by-products fishing can be used, and infrastructure construction is also used a lot. It is its wide application that makes it in the downstream of many industries, and it is precisely because of its downstream position. It is embarrassing to make its treatment in the downstream position in the whole industrial chain. To put it bluntly, it is the same hard work but can't get the corresponding money and salary!

The geological prospecting industry is different, especially the geological specialty, which is at the end of the whole industrial chain. Although it is also hard, it is worthwhile to look at the whole project, allocate the resources of the whole project, coordinate the whole auxiliary basic project and finally allocate all the funds.
