The question is straight forward.

Of course I understand we all have more than three criteria in choosing our potential life partner, but for the purpose of this thread, just your three topmost criteria.

For those who are married,what were the three topmost criteria that made you marry your spouse.


For me my 3 criteria are:

1. Must have a Great heart

2. Must be intelligent (very neccessary)

3.Must be himself and have few good friends.

Daddyboy012:
OK

It depends entirely on your employment letter. What is stated under resignation/Termination? If none, then you are a free bird. If however they require you to provide one month notice or pay 'in lieu', then you can request new employer if you can resume in April or you pay your current employer 1-month salary

Another wrong twist of history.. The first application of GIS was done in the area of Public Health to map diseases spread...in fact Programmers, computer scientist, Mathematicians, Statisticians, Surveyors etc have contributed are still contributing to the advancement of GIS... Moreover in some universities GIS and Remote Sensing is under the faculty of sciences, some engineering others Environmental design..

Mrokaykay:
Please GIS and Remote Sensing is not restricted to Geography or Geographers alone.. Please stop that impression...

When you have this knowledge to compliment your GIS expertise, you can climb higher than any other candidate.

No questions asked.

U av a pt der tho. Geog actually gave birth to GIS and when pple began to see d usefulness of GIS.they made it a tool available for all disciplines.




What are some of the other popular trending GIS jobs?

GIS programming is a big one. But be careful about listing Python experience on your resume if you don’t want a programming job.

Webmap development, geostatistics, remote sensing, computer-aided design are other in-demand skills.

Think of GIS as more of a tool than a field in itself

GIS + programming = job
GIS + forestry = job
GIS + web development = job
GIS + statistics = job
GIS + geology = job
GIS +Civil Engineering =Job
GI5+Public Health =job
GIS+mathematics =job
GIS +Surveying =job
GIS +Physics =job
GIS +Elect=job
GIS+Geography =job
GIS+metrology=job
GIS+Urban planning =job
GIS +demography =job
GIS+Fishery=Job
GIS +Management =Job
GIS +Hospitality =Job
GIS +Sociology =Job

A varied skill set serves you well. Adapt to technology and software change. Don’t ever stop training and don’t ever stop looking for a challenge.

I am a certified Town Planner, every city requires them for effective development and the field is broad in that you could even be an architectural draughtsman as a student within our locality, environmental impact assessment expert, good knowledge of Geography and remote sensing which can also be done as masters programme.
Engineers and Architects, built industry practitioners, politicians etc have to work with Master Plans developed by Planners for estate layouts, parks and recreation, markets and business areas developments, construction sites, transportation and movement within cities etc
States like Lagos know the importance of planning and Abuja is one city where planners have exhibited their expertise through monitoring and evaluation of the Abuja master plan which has been a battle between them and competing factors. It is a broad field which requires creative minds.

if you check online, you would realise most universities in Nigeria and abroad don't offer geography anymore. if he wants to work in environment, let him study exactly that thus,urp,civil engineering, landscape architecture, gis or any other aspect he is interested, geography is a Jack of all, master of none which is why it's not a professional course.urp is a far better option.

franktolk:
I will advise him to go for Geography . Geography is an all encompassing field that involves even the Urban and regional planning , Physical and human/economic geography,Geomatics,Integrated Geography,sales and marketing etc

According to www.geolounge.com "Geography has been branded a unique science of bridging the gap between social sciences and natural sciences. Hence we have two main sub-disciplines in geography. These sub-disciplines are Physical Geography (natural sciences) and Human Geography (social sciences)."

Geography can easily open up doors of international opportunities for you because it is general and not specific ,unlike Urban and regional planning . If you move abroad and you say u read urban and regional planning , they would first of all look at where you are coming from- Africa -Nigeria , what can you really categorically point to as a good monument of urban and regional planning in Nigeria ? With Geography you can still conveniently branch out into Urban and regional planning either in the future or at a Master degree level. Don't just get carried away with the name 'Urban and regional Planning'

Human Geography

Human Geography which is the second sub-discipline is of no less importance because essentially studies the people, cultures and communities existing in the world with a view of understanding its effects on the environment and vice versa. This means that the sub-discipline tries to understand the relationship that occurs within and across space – space here referring to specific locations – and place.

The scope of Human Geography is somewhat broader that physical geography and thus the sub-fields are more numerous than its counterpart. These subfields are namely:

Cultural Geography (trying to understand and describe the occurrence of various cultural groups with reference to space.
Economic Geography (studying the relationship between economic systems and the biophysical environment).
Historical Geography (understanding world history in terms of space and time).
Population Geography (studying cultural composition, growth, migration patterns as related to nature of places).
Political Geography (studying political and governmental features of regions)
Settlement Geography (defining what could be termed rural and urban areas and why?)
Health (Medical) Geography (health and disease study across space and place).
Essentially, Geography is considered the field of the three ‘Ws’, i.e. “Why is What Where”? Meaning the field studies ‘phenomenon’ both existing and anticipated.

Physical Geography

The first sub-discipline to be discussed is Physical Geography. Why?

This is because Physical Geography studies the all processes and pattern that can be consider natural on the Earth’s surface and since it is has been established in the science that the earth came into existence before humans, the physical environment is always studied first.

There are constant interactions between people and the environment and also between elements of the environment itself and this is the focus of Physical geography. Its importance is growing daily with the different types of environment issues that seems to the popping up day by day in the world we live in today e.g. water shortages, global warming, deforestation, tsunamis, erosion, to name a few.

The sub-discipline has four (4) view points namely the Atmosphere (air), Lithosphere (ground), Hydrosphere (water) and Biosphere (the meeting point of the other three spheres also referred to as the ‘Life’ sphere).

Sub-fields in Physical Geography are numerous but they can be broadly categorized into 5 which are

Geomorphology (earth’s form and structure)
Hydrology (study of all forms of water underground, over-ground and in the cloud)
Climatology (study of long term weather called climate and its effects on life)
Biogeography ( study of plant and animal life and processes)
Pedology ( the study of soils)

The analytical and research skills gained from your geography degree are attractive to a range of employers

the clear winner is urban and regional planning because it's a professional course especially if he ever ventures abroad to study and work, geography in Nigerian schools is a complete waste of time and money.even secondary schools are retrenching geography teachers as they stop the teaching of the subject.
