Hello,
My background is in Simulation programming, and after a while in this industry I want to change.
I have done a bit of GIS programming in my work, as visualisation is important in simulation I've written DEM importers and 3D visualisers, etc.
I have even used ESRI ArcMap a few times many years ago but nothing recently.
I've mainly used C# and C++, but have done not much web based.
I have always enjoyed the geographic elements of programming which is why I want to get more into "GIS".
I would like to also do field work. I resent being behind a computer so much and want to be outdoors more. A 50/50 split I think would be ideal.
Over here in the UK I check out the jobsites but there is not too much GIS work about, especially not in my domain.
I'm not sure where I would fit in but I expect I will have to move to another country.
Given these desires (field work, GIS) what role might I fit into, how could I progress towards obtaining this role?
