I think it will just continue to increase Andrew and that is all the more reason to expose children to the technology at a young age.

[LuisOlivieri1]

When I started working in GIS 30 years ago, the possibilities where not that many and not too many fields of education were using GIS. Areas using GIS were natural resources, environmental science, agriculture, universities (education and research), archaeologist, engineers (most people moving from CAD) and a few others.  These days, I say, “GIS is everywhere!” and you can apply GIS to almost any area. Think about any career and there is a good possibility that GIS can be implemented.

GIS as a career is a great option but knowing how to use GIS in your career makes you more marketable and appealing to a potential employer.    

With the new applications to so many areas, the only way I see GIS is to keep growing during the next 5 years...   and during the next 10 years as well.

I would say ... traditional GIS will continue to modestly grow but what will grow even MORE is GIS in non traditional fields.  We will get back with you with more info after this chat.  Thanks.
