I'm sure there are enough people on this listserv who are working in some
compacity in GIS without a university degree, and who do not have the time
or
the money to pursue a 4-year degree to move into the graduate program were
it seems that universities like to offer it. I'm sure there are 2 reasons
for this. The "official" reason is to have students who already have a
discipline "on paper". The "unofficial" reason is that GIS can be learned
without a 4-year degree but universities need the revenue. If you have
passion in the areas of mapping, earth science, environmental issues,
geography, you are already, I'm sure, well-versed in your passion, and can
do just as well as someone with a "paper degree".
I would like to see some defense, one way or another, on this discussion
from university people.
Sincerely,
Barb
