General Question

Post Body

Hi all,

I just got the news that I’m getting laid off my current job.

I was wondering about going back to school for a GIS certificate?

I have political science and religious studies degrees plus a background in environmental conservation.

Would it be possible to get a position in geospatial intelligence and analysis of some kind if I pick up a certificate in GIS?

I know it seems like a big career shift (I did take a lot of international relations courses in college and I did some land surveying work before), but would it be possible?

Thank you.
