How does the GIS go hand in hand with drones? I want to get into mapping with drones , already FAA part107 certified and I have my osha 10 to be on construction sites .
I saw a GIS internship paid job in interested in but want to make sure I’m completely understanding how I can incorporate a GIS certification with drones.
Found this page , cool videos
so it's seems that is good decision to improve myself into more technical things in general geoinformation, e.g. programming in geoinformatics (with other supplements like ML) and remote sensing/photogrammetry/UAV
Anything GIS related is a dreadful career path. I now work in telecom site acquisition and make low 6-figures.
Very good content destroyed by unwanted BG music
I work as an Biologist in Germany, specializing in the monitoring of Birds and mammals.
For some years, the main Bottleneck in the field was the amount of surveyed data. With the rise of drones and autimated monitoring I am sure the next bottleneck will be how the huge amount of data will be analyzed. Im sure that knowledge in GIS will be very profitable in that niche.
Is geoinformatics and surveying a good course
Is GIS role is IT or NON-IT
please reply It will be help full
This is why i use chatgpt
Is it good to start a career in gis as a fresher
Sounds like the problem might be that this is a boring and repetitive job. Low creative opportunities. Moderate pay.
“GIS expert reacts”-style video will never happen. It’s such an obscure field in the publics’s eye and honestly it feels like a chore explaining what you do to others. Oh but here comes the next dude being scarily good at geoguesser! (Honestly that doesn’t even have tangible applications unless you’re travelling) People are simple
Very annoying background music literally stopped me from listening!
So if you had a choice between studying GIS and design which would you choose??
I’m currently studying mathematics in the university
Hoping i will be able to be a GIS Analyst one day (if possible)
GIS career is very limited in terms of opportunities, does not pay very well, it’s a very interesting career at the beginning because of the visual aspect, but even that gets tiring and boring at some point.
My advice is choose a career that is more broad such as data analyst or scientist don’t put yourself in a niche that doesn’t even pay that well, also keep on learning and adapting.
hii geoinformatics is good for career or not
I work as an archaeologist in the private sector and thinking about taking a GIS certification course to in the future segue from archaeology. We use GIS all the time in my industry, mostly for making maps on the spatial relations of cultural resources in the field.
Thanks for clarifying the GIS analyst role a bit better. I assume the salaries for the analyst role are comparable to an entry level position.
Thank you for sharing this valuable info. You seem to have a gift and natural talent for producing excellent videos Matt. Thanks again.
Can you answer this question 🙋 please.
what are the similarities between data analytics and gis?
I think this is the issue with nearly all 'analysis' roles. You go to school, or online, learn a bunch of cool stuff, and end up being stuck in ArcGIS or AGOL clicking buttons. Anyways, really just commenting to say that I just realized you are the author of Spatial SQL, great book and perhaps you can do a colab with the author of How to Succeed as a GIS Rebel in a future video?
Great Video! Just a question, you mentioned that as an Analyst, you mostly are working with data already gathered and set up for you, so who is in charge of gathering the data in the first place, and can you land a career as that role?

Awesome video, thank you for posting this. Unrelated, where did you get that shirt? It's perfect!
Thank for this valuable information. I am thinking about career choise after my geography study. I don't like programming, but I liked visualising data using desktop GIS. Your info, that you usually work with GIS app, just using the ready data actually encourages me to look further and maybe take this as a career path.
I'm currently a software developer but want to specialize in GIS (the programming part of course), any tips for me ? I'm currently following courses on ESRI and would go for a certificate before end of July
Thank you !
Hi Matt I'm really impressed with your educational skills!
I'm just researching options for starting a new career at age 44 and I'm trying to consider how/if AI will be effecting the career paths I'm considering in the next 20 years…
What is your best guess as to the potential impact of AI on the GIS field moving forward?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Matt, best of luck to you.
Oh man, you’re from Wisconsin? No way lol.
Appreciate your work 🤌🤌 Can u make a video explaining what are the different opportunities are there in different domains like disaster management and like that and how to get started in that field..
