Hi all! My brother's a former interagency hotshot and park ranger up in Rocky Mountain and eastern Oregon, and he ended up convincing me from switching my major from engineering over to GIS and Meteorology. I'm currently interning with a city fire department's wildland division doing their geospatial analysis and CRAs and stuff and hoping I can find a way to land a job with BLM or DFS or a county/state/whatever doing their geospatial stuff on wildfires :shobon:

I graduate in December (there are babby goons too!) so I'm not entirely hopeful given, uh, everything. But who knows!

Yeah, I'm probably gonna see about a cert this semester. Most of my work experience has been in abstract space-time data cube analysis or Community Risk Assessments for communities on the WUI so while I'd absolutely love to hop into that side of GIS, I guess the amount of jobs in that area is super small so I'll probably end up either waiting for a pathways program to open up or working with some county somewhere on their poopwater/electricity to round out my experience while F5ing governmentjobs.com :v:
