I'm curious why did you all chose GIS as a career, as is a "niche" field. It's widely used but not much people know about it.

In my case I studied History & Geography and had to use GIS during one course. I really liked it and I also like to code, so I guessed GIS could be a career for me as I didn't want to be a teacher back then.

I'm now finishing a GIS Maters and working as a GIS analyst, using python to automate routines. Is my first job in the field (started as an intern).
