GIS IS THE MOST PREFERRED CAREER IN MODERN WORLD

A report published by Devex, DAI, and USAID says that geospatial technology and Geomatic Engineering is one of the most preferred career choices amongst youngsters followed by Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Artificial Intelligence 

Geospatial technology has shown to be our best companion, being with us 24/7 as a life redeemer helping us to find our strange destination or track our near or dear ones. It has become a crucial part of life. It is a need of a discrete as well as for organizations that help them to make fair and accurate business decisions.

Thus, it makes a good choice as a career to learn to analyze data and be a data scientist. Subjects like mathematics, Information Technology, Computer Science, Economics, Electrical Engineering, or Bioinformatics are provided with relevant skills to track career in big data. Understanding of coding and programming languages is also necessary if you are looking to make a career in it. Big data as a career is also very huge and dynamic for which just a university degree will never help.
