How can I find a coach for a Career in CS/GIS?
I envision a GeoSpatial Data analyst working for a private company in need of my skills in Computer spatial Data extraction, analytics, and visualization spatial statistics, data visualization, and programming in Python With my analytical MS Office and Design skills, I seek to develop predictive models and create interactive maps for retail and disaster management industries. I am a student at a 4-year college studying Information Technology. To accomplish this, I graduated with a BS in Information Technology and a second BS in Computer Science/GIs with GIS certification, but I have little to no experience yet. I am seeking a mentor/professional to guide me in coaching for a career in integrating Geography, Data analytics, and Computer Science. The general consensus is that I am best suited for work in Government or non-profit organizations, but that is not where I like to be. Maps and Data brainstorming have been my passion, not so much Mathematics or statistics.
