Do you use Arc GIS?
As an economist, I don't work with GIS myself, but working at the Swedish Authority for Mapping, Cadaster and Land Registration, a lot of the engineers and surveyors at work do. It's at the core what we do.
My eldest daughter is a GIS engineer but she works for a consultant company. She actually combines Arc GIS, Survey123 and Excel to build apps that her clients use to check if something they come across is already registered, and if not register it with the correct coordinates right away on their cell phone. GIS software is definitely very useful.
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!

Microsoft 1998 WW2 flight simulator software cover. The P-51D (Mustang) in the forefront is my picture.
$15,000 US-onetime usage, (and freeze the image for 3 years).
Haha, another company bought an even, in fact, much better pic of a different but similar shot from me of the same model warbird
6 days later for $10,000 US. Not bad for a week.

I've used Arc for some clients and it is slowly becoming, if it hasn't already, the GIS standard. It is cumbersome because it is targeted at such a wide and varied market. I more often use MapInfo with the Discover add on. After MapInfo was bought a few years ago by Pitney Bowes, much of the mining side of it was stripped out making it a GIS package for marketing and sales users. Fortunately a mining software company has bought that side of the business and is reinvigorating it.
I make a map in MapInfo/Discover and dump it as a geotiff or as a geo referenced pdf onto my phone, then use a free app, Avenza Maps, to collect my field data. I can dump from the app as gpx and txt back into MapInfo/Discover that evening.
You can freely download transit and park maps, all of BC's 1:20,000 topo maps as well, in geo referenced pdf format and then use your phones gps to navigate and track without needed a cell or data connection.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yup you need a superior graphics card for that work, intense graphics data info, my colleague does that, and his card gave out as well, so work upgraded his rig to 16gb ram, SSD, 3gb GeForce GTX graphics card, shit flys!
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
