Hey, I'm curious: does anybody out there work in the GIS (geographic information systems/science) field? Or know anyone who does?
I'm looking into a career change, and I have an interest in data analysis, but I've just stumbled upon GIS again and honestly it sounds SO much more interesting that your average corporate America data analysis bullshit, so I'm trying to learn more about a possible career in GIS.
I know there's obviously probably a wide variety of jobs within the field, and that will definitely affect what tasks would look like day to day, but I'd love to hear from anyone currently (or previously!) working in GIS, especially what an average day might look like, and what kind of skills/certifications might be more useful.
Feel free to respond in reblog, tags, asks, or DMs! I'm eagerly absorbing all info about it at the moment 👀👀👀
