Anne,
I would recommend doing a little research first. ESRI Press has some
great books available on many aspects of GIS and it's uses. Also check
in your area for GIS users groups. Go visit their meets. This will give
you an opportunity to talk to Folks already in the business and get the
benefit of their experience. Also look out for seminars held by local
Vendors. They are great places to see how some of the various tools work
from ESRI, Autodesk, MapInfo, Bentley, Integraph, and a host of others.

I have a question related to Dean's, but one step earlier in the process
of career change. I joined the GIS list because I wanted to learn more
about what GIS consists of and whether it would be an interesting next
step for me. I've been a web developer since the hey day started, but
have started to get (1) bored and (2) dispirited at all the
commercialism. I've always been crazy about maps, and am trained as a
linguist in 6 languages, so it seems that somehow all these things might
come together nicely. BUT... I don't know where to start to find out
if GIS is for me, and if so, how to go about learning it. Do I do some
academic work, or just jump into the tools?
Anne
