If I was about to graduate with a GIS degree (or looking to hone up on my skills in the field), rather than hearing advice from someone like me or others at Esri, I would want to know about the lessons learned from other recent graduates.

In this article, I sat down (virtually) with 3 recent graduates to get their thoughts on the skills and experiences that have been the most valuable to them. I really wanted to know what some of the gaps might have been in their GIS programs and what they have found themselves doing day to day.

I'd love to hear about other's experiences as well. What skills, software, tools, etc. did you wish that you had been exposed to while in school? Or, were there things that you were grateful for getting exposed to?
