so... yes, grad school
Mar. 21st, 2013 04:58 pmHaving mentioned it, I should explain. I'm applying to two GIS programs:
one in Edinburgh
and one in Glasgow.
This is partly because I need a little more time to decide which direction I want to go with a research degree in history (my ultimate goal) and because I think having not just training but actual academic credentials in GIS would be good either for working in history or as a new career path of its own. It builds on what I already have (training and experience designing, building, and maintaining databases), some limited training and experience in GIS systems, and a lifetime love of maps (it was really a love of maps that got me into wargaming to begin with--the map-love came first).
