Did grad school that involved GIS whereas I'm scooting along self-teaching SQL and Python. But you're right that seems a good way to both facilitate my education and also leverage existing talents. You handsome man you. Do you work in Golden? They got a heckton of GIS jobs.

You get a modicum of power, 6 figures, and aren't locked into any industry. Lord knows we need more people in business who aren't business wing Republicans

I live in the Bay. Lots of jobs here but it's insanely expensive. Thankfully my current one is kind of in the boonies so I was able to move out of Silicon Valley. The main thing to remember with GIS is you can literally work for any industry so don't be afraid to apply for things even if you aren't experienced in that particular subject. If you are capable, they will train you. Relentlessboredomm posted:If you're socially competent and can bullshit just get an MBA.

To answer about the pivot to renewables, theorectically, I could have been hosed. I stayed at home to be with my family, but the opportunity was there. Sometimes you get lucky, but there's always risks with big money jobs

I respect that but this is exactly why we need more good people in the business world. There are too many assholes and now regular people think all business opportunities are going to consume their soul. There's some genuine good that could be done in this country if the business community were filled with better people. Barring that, there are some great things you can do on your own. I'm working on a business plan with a friend for a p2p payday lending service entirely designed to give reasonable rates and gently caress over the evil payday loan industry. I've got another friend who's helping a former DoL staffer build out a plan for a coffee shop based entirely on being socially responsible with their labor force. Good poo poo exists.

After my finals over the next week it should chill out for a bit and I can start looking at summer internships, which I haven't done much for yet. Just gotta make it though this first semester to knock out the core classes and it's off to the lovely world of electives.

My mother in law didn't get a knock on her door till 4:30AM, and she was immediately adjacent to the evac zone. Rescue crews were working frantically all night, and a lot of crews were driving right through poo poo like that. There's gonna be a ton of corpses turning up in the next few days. There were wind gusts above 60 MPH, super high fuel load, dry conditions, and although nobody is saying it in earnest yet, it's pretty suspicious how many fires started at the same time, in those conditions, with no thunderstorms to set anything off.
