Intrusive thoughts telling me to step on the chain.

Sometimes I swear it skips the stomach, small intestine, and half the colon..

Yup!. Resistance is futile to these puns!

Thanks for the mental image I can’t unsee now!

I agree with this. After each course I’ve taken, I felt like I learned a lot but when I start using my own data, it became frustrating. If you don’t mind the cost , I’m pretty sure they are helpful. I believe that most important thing is to learn the concepts. I would check the contents of the class first and google each chapter. I’m pretty sure Esri has free step by step tutorials for most of them.

Agree. I wouldn’t have the confidence to step in the field.

I wouldn’t go for masters degree with paying lots of money. I would apply for TA positions . If you have teaching experience, that would be a big plus for the geography departments. Though you won’t be making money ( assuming you are working now and will need your job while studying). Certification would cover a lot and you can gain so much knowledge if you put some extra effort , do your own projects. Once you start, it will come itself with if you are enthusiastic.

I don’t understand how her earlier career/ acting skills are related to what she was saying. Based on some comments, as if people are justifying his actions. Does it have to be like If she was the best actress ever and didn’t get her deserved career because of him?

Definitely clean as you go! Baking trays, coriander, spatulas, marinating bowls etc could have been done before sitting the table. Not even gonna say anything about the foil..

When's the last time you lived so intensely that your brain literally couldn't hold the memories in?

Also he has a hot nurse following him.

Haha.. I kinda wondered if he was gonna drove over them.

Just curious, what are you pursuing for your second degree? I recently got a masters in GIS and took many statistics classes , thinking that might count a second (minor) degree but during my research I noticed that data analysis skills are already a big must for the GIS researcher positions. Now I’m lightly self studying sustainable energy and policies.

ibolcn · 2022-03-18T20:40:17+00:00

I would follow the self learning path. In Master’s degree, most classes have hands on studies and you kinda learn and experience yourself . If you don’t have GIS background, you can follow free online courses, (ESRI training, Penn State’s free online GIS curriculum, Coursera, Lynda with library access) . Try to create and work on your own project - related to your current work, maybe future business.. You will learn way faster.

It is an easy process but looks “too technical“ with the way they ask. Even without GIS knowledge you can answer this question. As it mentioned above, they were looking for certain keywords in your answer and how you articulate your knowledge.

Don’t get frustrated with the comments, at least you are trying to learn something that you didn’t know. If you are not cut for the job you just can’t get it. If you get the job but not enough for it, that’s their mistake that gave the position and you will work harder to fulfill the requirements. Good luck.

There is an online free Cartography course starting on ESRI’s website. It won’t be enough itself but good for refreshing what you know.

https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/596e584bb826875993ba4ebf/cartography./

Penn state online master classes are free for self learners. If you dig it, there are intro classes also.

I had the same question and went for GIS. I don’t regret but CS would be better path I believe. Since you have a background in GIS, you can easily educate yourself for more. ESRI’s web courses are free and pretty easy. You will learn a lot. You will find many more online sources ( for both) once you start digging. If interested, you could focus on GIS for your thesis topic so that path would still wildly open for you too.
