Anne -
I would suggest attending a few meetings w/ your local GIS user's group,
network w/ some of those folks to learn more/make contacts, and visit a
couple of offices that use GIS. Another approach might be to just jump
into the tools. GIS *is* a tool, and it's uses and applications are
boundless and are found in many fields. If you like using GIS as a tool,
my hunch is that with your talent, experience, and creativity you will
be able to find a job/market that suits your needs.
