Re: Gender Pay Gap in Surveying

A small bit of trivia about the Ten Minute Surveyor videos: the end table behind me often carries a rotating little Easter egg. The books you see there are not random props. They are pulled from the small library of titles I consider keepers—the ones I do not part with. They are not always technical references, either. Sometimes they are history, investigative reporting, finance, or anything else that earned a permanent spot in the collection. Since I am not exactly running the Oprah Book Club, and I never mention the titles, I assume most people treat them like wallpaper.
As it relates to this thread, the book sitting on the end table in the “Myths” video from October 4, 2022 was Richard Reeves’ Of Boys and Men—a recent read at the time that earned its place in my library as a keeper. A little background curiosity back then might have saved us all a few calories in this discussion, all in a day's work.
No shade intended. Conversations like this help keep the profession sharp. And if we ever need common ground, we can always rally with t-shirts, placards, and a collective stand against the one force unmistakably hostile to our cause: the blood-thirsty orcas reducing the great white population. Save Great White Shark Livers.
