    Matt, so awesome to see all this finally come together; super stoked you got use out of the dataset! 🙌🏼 Very interesting about the demand for Excel vs. Python; I think you are on to something with it shifting in the future! Thanks for the shoutout 🎉
  • @bc4198
    Hi Matt, another great video! As I've said, you're one of the only channels doing modern GIS, and I'm loving it! 🧑‍🎤
  • @Dev_Lx
    So much information here. Thanks!
  • @WWG1-WGA
    Thinking going into Agroforestry, GIS tools , SQL, python projects while learning the domain knowledge. I’m liking this more and more everyday . Thanks ! 🙏🏼
  • @joshyfrott
    There's always a Matt on every GIS team. And whenever anyone needs help, just look for Matt! Thanks Matt!
  • @d.i.gmusicsa
    Completing my BSc Geosciences this year, considering studying further in GIS, very helpful video. So excited for the future
  • @moore871
    Great insights.....Nice Jack Dangermond glasses!
  • @denyskovshun9960
    Very interesting video. It would also be interesting to see global trends in GIS technology and country by country popularity of the profession. I know it's a big piece of work, but I was a bit shocked by the number of offers in the US 😅.
  • @chacmool2581
    As a Data Science master's holder (working too on a grad Stats certificate), I am interested in the application of Statistics & Machine Learning to geospatial data. It only makes sense that Python and SQL are important in that field. What's surprising about the results of this vid is the relative unimportance of what Data Scientists bring to the table, that is, higher level mathematical skills for description, inference and prediction. This is the niche that interests me, Geospatial Data Science which calls for knowing Stats and ML.

    Hey Matt! Big fan, another great video. Great work on the analysis. Just wanted to jump in and agree with a previous comment that it does come off as slightly disingenuous to not name ESRI or ArcGIS specifically by name. I am a huge open-source fan/advocate and would love the GIS community to become more holistic in its software usage, but not naming the currently most widely used GIS platform is a lil odd. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put into your videos and content!
  • @ojoosato3165
    Thank you very much Matt, glad I found your channel, I have a degree in Geology and currently looking at going into GIS, can you help were to start from.
  • @badrbensassi
    Hi Matt, thanks for the instructive video. I have a master's in GIS but never worked in the field since graduated in 2018. What would be your recommendation if I wanna shift back to be a geospatial data analyst ?
  • @lilmilmil1655
    I am a 35G in the army. I am just starting out, but so far, I have loved this field. What would you recommend as someone just starting out into this field.
  • Thanks for this amazing resource. I am currently enrolled in an Introductory course in "Spatial databases". Do you consider this a valuable resource given this new wave of Artificial Intelligence? I would love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks once again for this resource, much appreciated! 🙌🏾👌
