The road forward isn’t always straightforward. I left GIS to gain domain knowledge in utilities. With that knowledge I became better at managing a geographic information system. This advanced me in my career from a GIS technician to GIS analyst. I could have advanced without leaving the industry but I would never give up the knowledge I gained while working as a designer. Sometimes we need to walk away to become better.


Project Spatial is a community where I lead discussions about GIS strategy and how to plan out a successful geographic information system which increases effective decisions in your company and help further your GIS career. I use affiliate links which means when you purchase from my link I get a small portion of that purchase to help support my channel.

But I can't do this alone. Join the group now by subscribing and sign up for my newsletter at https://katiescheurer.com/ so you never miss a thing!
