Or, you know.

Not fine.

Not sure I want to go down the academic route, but it would be cool to have a GIS job that is more focused on analysis. Do these even exist? Is there anyone here who has used spatial analysis or statistics techniques in their work?

It's not my area of training or expertise, but I've done a fair amount of spatial analysis work. Honestly even GIS-specific jobs are going to be mostly database and programming work, and to be competitive you're going to need at least some familiarity there. I'll use GIS software to produce neato maps and manage shape files, but I'm still running everything out of databases and doing most if not all analysis in spatial SQL.

IME a good bet is to look at large insurance and real estate firms, they make a lot of use of GIS and are always hiring analysts.
