I'm a Geography major and GIS minor. It's useful but it's also loving infuriating to use this software.

Yeah, ArcMap. But I think I'm just not good with it. Some guy who helps me with the labs that we're assigned is a loving wizard with it but he also has a programming background. Still, having experience with GIS looks really good to employers so I'm glad I did it.

edit: Also here's a good resource for GIS employment opportunities. It's down right now, hopefully temporarily but it was working as of a couple weeks ago: http://gisjobsmap.com/

So I've completed my B.A. in Geography and minor in GIS. I even got a GIS certificate from my university. I'm looking for jobs but they many seem to require knowledge in ArcSDE, ArcGIS server and all that stuff outside of ArcMap. These were never covered in my Intro and Advanced GIS classes. How difficult is it to learn these programs? I'll have access to the full ArcGIS software package this summer but I'm mostly on my own as far as learning them.
