   Feed Supplier to All   
   [Web Feed] Career Switch to GIS   
   19 Mar 21 14:18:23

   Hello,   
      
   I am looking to possibly switch my current career field to a GIS field. I   
   currently work as a Environmental Scientist for a consulting company. I   
   graduated from West Virginia University in 2018 with a B.S. in Environmental   
   Resources Management. I have    
   been at the same consulting company since I graduated; making it three years   
   in May. I have always been interested in GIS since I took multiple classes in   
   it during my time at WVU.   
      
   I dont really have any working experience in GIS aside from using mapping   
   programs (ex. eMapPA, USCS Soil Survey Mapping; I work in Pennsylvania) while   
   at my current job. I learned how to use ArcGIS while in school but haven't   
   used it since then. With my    
   background, is it reasonable to attempt a career change? There has been   
   multiple GIS positions that have opened in my area and I'd like to see what I   
   can get into. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
