This will sure keep you busy and may be a learning curve if you aren't familiar with GIS, but unlocks a lot of new possibilities. Once you start showing off your GIS skills, I'm sure you could find a lot of consulting opportunities. There are a lot of companies out there that could use some geospatial stuff.<br /><br />Also, to repeat one of the other commenters, step out of your comfort zone (SAMs) and give something else a shot. It won't be easy, but it could work out. Lastly, taking the graphics to the next level wouldn't be a bad idea.<br /><br />You have great skills and are doing a great job, so I'm sure you'll figure something out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-76840651137897633942012-08-04T07:32:04.143-04:002012-08-04T07:32:04.143-04:00You should step out of your comfort zone (air defe...You should step out of your comfort zone (air defense etc) and expand your portfolio (I&A) into other areas. Regrettably, in this age of media, one does not necessarily need much expertise to sell a product as long as the product looks good. Big media has the most money yet needs the least intelligence. Expand on your graphics capabilities. A close second to looking good is producing your product fast. <br /><br />If you can’t bring yourself to dumbing it down, you can focus on various industries and their associated trade publications, i.e. mining, or real estate. <br /><br />Add a section to I&A such as “Industries” or “Trends” and create. In any case, do not think of your self as an analyst but that of a writer and seek out the work as a writer would, with portfolio in hand. <br /><br />My two cents anyway.<br /><br />D.V.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15893054348815638536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-63071543966756006962012-08-04T00:16:25.784-04:002012-08-04T00:16:25.784-04:00Archaeology is something I hadn't really thoug...Archaeology is something I hadn't really thought of, good call!<br /><br />I do get all sorts of fun imagery or information from various places already, which I'm sure the providers are quite pleased to have not seen appear either here or in I&A! 10 years in military intelligence does tend to give one a bit of respect for data security.Sean O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262754627111404755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-47394419885553611672012-08-03T11:34:06.846-04:002012-08-03T11:34:06.846-04:00You probably should just work as IMINT interpreter...You probably should just work as IMINT interpreter and/or specialist on defense matters for some organisation or another (JDW sounds good to me), while publishing articles "for fun".<br /><br />The problem here is that if you do get access to the data from some organisation that you work for (ie if JDW gives you some non published sensetive data), then you need to keep in mind that you should not disclose it here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202739445940364113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165290376032593437.post-17074741591890726802012-08-03T05:21:27.055-04:002012-08-03T05:21:27.055-04:00You have the archeological community which may be ...You have the archeological community which may be interested in a specialist of aerial/satellite pictures...
