I would like to echo what you said at 4:30. You can bring spatial awareness to many different skillsets. I really had no previous 3D modeling and texturing experience before my current job as a multimedia designer, but my understanding of photogrammetry, digitizing, vertices and using elevation data really helped me pick up the skill set quickly.
Matthew Husted thank you for sharing your experience!
Yes it is absolutely a career and I have never regretted being in geospatial technologies. Thanks. 🌎🌲
Thank you for sharing this is filled with insight and thoughtful of you... I recently am looking at re sharpening my skills in GIS to enable me change my profession.. PS I studied Geography and Meteorology at the Versity and my chosen career has made me drift farther from my original path..
I really enjoyed your video as this is my first time watching it. Just moved to Canada from Nigeria with Masters in GIS . Guess I want to dive into GIS, all I need is hands on experience about GIS and strongly believe i'm in the right place.
Thumbs up to you
which university?
Hey, Eunice I’m a Nigerian currently studying Gis, can we network please
Thank you for sharing. I have a background in Cad/3D modeling and looking into see if I can add this to my skill set to go further and have enjoy what I do more.
Such a well explained and straight-to-the-point video. I have subscribed to your channel and signed up for your newsletter. :-)
this was super informative :) thank you
Love to hear u studied geology.... I am geologist too
Is gis is good or not .
Can you give me your email i want to talk with you
Great video! thanks for the informations
you're amazing thank you! this video was super helpful :)
Thank you for this informative video!
Solid video and information, thanks! I’ll be changing careers in a few years, and a was wandering how important learning programming is for this field.
Congrats on a new career. Let me know if you have any questions moving forward.
Katie Scheurer it will be a good while until I do, however I want to plan my education. Concerning programming, such as Python, how important do you think it is? Or rather, is there a limit in this field without it?
Cdub if your main focus is GIS development and infrastructure then I would say it is very important to understand python. If you're focus is on analysis I would look at R with Python. If you don't like programming then focus on domain knowledged and utilizing GIS in your field.
Katie Scheurer great, thank you! I’ve never really been good at learning foreign language ;)
Thanks Katie, it's informative
Great video! Keep up the great work. I'm a geographer and GIS is awesome.
+Marlon Bell Thank you! Are there any topics you are struggling with that you would like me to cover?
@@KatieScheurer Spatial Analysis is still a bit tricky to me. I'm starting to dive in deeper with Remote Sensing and Photography.
@@KatieScheurer which skill is more crucial? Aerial Photography, Remote Sensing or Spatial Analysis. Obviously it's good to know all including Cartography. What have you seen be more useful?
Marlon Bell that is a hard one. I would say go with what you are interested in because ultimately that will serve you the most. With that said I think spatial analysis is big for getting value out of loads of data which will be important as we are increasing data output exponentially as a society right now. So people that can make sense of that and add value are going to be in demand.
@@KatieScheurer I agree! I will definitely continue to focus on all aspects but really dig into Spatial Analysis.
Great video! I'm a final year Undergraduate of remote sensing and GIS.Thanks for sharing those valuable links. It's Awesome to know that GIS is amazing and to hear that you are a mentor to some GIS students, are there any criteria to be a mentee? Because I will be glad to be one :). Looking forward to your next video!
+JOLAIYA EMMANUEL thank you. There isn't much for criteria to be a mentee but the program I work with is through our state organization if you are looking for something local I would search for something like that. Feel free to reach out to me with questions.
Thank you for answering my question. But,I would love to be your mentee specifically :)
same am a gis/rs student
Thanks, Katie. It is really informative!
I had bachelors in geology and I am currently pursuing my masters in Environmental GIS which I am halfway through. I have applied for several GIS jobs and have been rejected because I do have the required experience. What is the best way I can get an internship or volunteer job to start building my career?
King Lethal I would look at your local government and environment organizations. You could also reach out to engineers. Also working on a portfolio of work and help showcase your skill which will help break down barriers. The big thing is talk to people in your area in the industry you want to be in.
I have done my bachelors in Geology from India. I wish to pursue Msc in GIS. Is it a good option considering the ongoing pandemic?
Thanks for the effort,
I’m going to start GIS certificate level 1 at a community college and I’m going grow and take the level 2 ( analysts )
Any advice for beginners?
Elias sd I would try out as many thing as you can to find areas of GIS that you enjoy. Also look for experience outside the college. It is very hard to get that first job. If you have volunteer or internship experience it can really help.
@@KatieScheurer What school will you advise me to do my Masters online? Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your information and experience about gis. I’m gonna start my gis study very soon in Canada. All the research I did wasn’t very positive. A lot of people talked about GIS it’s not a real career or G.I. S environment is not good. That makes me very confused and worried. What can I do now to prepare my future study and how should I do my research to get more valuable results? Thank you.
Jingkai Luan it is frustrating with the mixed messages. From what I have seen many of the negative comments come from those that are not being valued in their career. If you are getting into the developer and programming side it can be more profitable to not have GIS in your title. But if you are more on the science side and application of the tools it can be different. I would start looking at job descriptions in you area for a better idea of salary ranges and responsibilities/skills needed. That really is the only way to know.
Jingkai Luan stated: "A lot of people talked about GIS it’s not a real career or G.I. S environment is not good. That makes me very confused and worried."
I know I am a little late but I have to chime into the conversation. From my experience, GIS is a great career. People who say GIS is not a good career does not understand GIS. Do not listen to those people. It is like saying a Computer Science, Data Analyst or Database Administrator career is not good but we all know Computer Science, Database Administrator and Data Analyst professions are good careers.
I work for a City in the USA and as a GIS Analyst I label my self as a Computer Scientist, Data Analyst, Database Administrator, Server Administrator, Network Administrator and because I have to work with sewer, water, Storm Water, Electric, Roads, Parcels, land and the list goes on, an engineer.
GIS is a challenging and great career, which as a GIS Technician or Analyst, you wear many different hats.
Thans for information
I want to do msc in gis and remote sensing from Sheffield hallum university. Is it scoping course in UK?
good morning katie. Which companies can you recommend for employment? Your links, I am an engineer-level cartography technologist, GIS analyst, I handle arcgis pro, arcmap, qgis and gvsig, also remote sensing in ENVI. But I work in another area.
Thank you
I don’t have particular companies I work with. You can do well anywhere but I have been happiest when I fell I have a purpose with a company and can learn and grow.
Hi, Katie! I just would like to ask if GIS specialist or developer are not allowed to do video call to loveones? 😬😊
Can you please tell about remote sensing career.??Because you did not mentioned about remote sensing
fariha Harun check out this week's video Career in GIS: Advice for College Students ruclips.net/video/ol-_tYS02fM/видео.html I mention a bit about it. Let me know if you still have some questions.
Guess whete data acience came from.
great, go ahead
Hi Katie, I was wondering if there is any kind of jobs that use GIS to help out map out or essentially build communities like housing, commercial or other types of infrastructure.
Yes, there are. Look for positions in city development or planning. Also, you can look for positions in construction.
If you hold a traditional degree such as architecture and you have a good command of arc gis through taking online courses at Coursera. Do you still need to get a traditional degree in gis?
The information you provided was usefull .Is there any way to connect to you personally ????.
rakesh patil you can find me on LinkedIn or visit my website www.katiescheurer.com. You can sign up for my newsletter there as well.
Hello, I had completed my undergraduation from (CIVIL engineering).. I'm looking for postgraduation from UK in GIS..
Is it a good decision or preference?
I'm confused to take a step in GIS.. Please help me out
Ahsan Siddiqui check out job descriptions in your area for civil engineering. Are they asking for GIS experience? If so, then yes go for it. If not, get a position and some experience then consider if you still need a GIS degree. Your employer might even pay for some of it.
How can I get easier job and which college or university is good for Gis degree
I'm not sure what would be an easier job for you. There are many places you can get a GIS degree. It really depends on what you preference is and how much are you willing to spend. I would recommend finding job postings in your area that you would want and work backward to figure out what qualifications you need to qualify for that position. Then when you have a few universities visit them and meet the instructors or watch a lecture online. If you think you can learn from them it's a right fit.
do you know where can i get undergraduate scholarship for international student?
Can you work with GIS without any other relevant academic background?
I have a bachelors and a masters degree within culture and musicology, but they are not giving me any jobs, so i am looking for something that can make me attractive on the job market.
Working in GIS can be similar to a trade where you learn the software and use it to answer questions in your field of choice. But if you are starting out I would find a posting that you are interested in and then start gaining skills they are looking for.
Can u please suggest best college for RS & GIS in masters ….
I want to learn GIS software work for freelancing.
Is it a good decision???
I think it is a great tool to have when freelancing but you will also need more general data analytics and visualization skills as well.
I WANT TO LERN AND NEED CERTIFICATE FOR JOBS PLS HELP ME--
Which university is best for this professional and which specialization is best inremote sensing
sachin hegde that is really hard to say. It is very personal on which program is the best. AI and Machine Learning are both buzzing right now in analysis in remote sensing but there are also some amazing things happening with drones.
Ma'am what ur salary Plss reply
Are there any GIS type jobs that work from home by chance?
elyse johnson many GIS jobs can be work from home positions. It is more up to the company to decide.
Which university is best for gis in India
Please answer ma'am
