I have come to terms with the fact that I went for a degree in something that is equivalent to getting a degree in Excel. I always loved maps as a kid and while my geography classes were fun, I was cheated from the pandemic because I didn’t learn much of GIS in general.

The jobs I had applied for always said they found someone with more experience and after a year I started a job at the airport and realized I actually enjoy working with people and not desk work.

I think about going back to school to maybe going into teaching and I’m actually on a path to become a Customs Officer now. I wish I could have told my 20 year old self (since I’m 24 now) that going into a career is mostly linked to your personality. I liked hospitality and customer service since I am always around people. This is not to say I wouldn’t want a GIS job but I hated my internship and to be fair I never was the best in college, achieving wise.
