Location: Houston, Texas
Degree: BS in Civil Engineering, MS in Transportation Engineering, Studying
my 2nd MS degree in Environmental Science by taking part-time classes.
Current Work: Lead GIS Analyst in a consulting company. I have been working
in this company for almost four years. We mainly do GIS service for the
pipeline companies. Our work focus on the environmental integrity management
for the pipeline companies. It's not too much fun to be a GIS analyst
forever. I feel there is no futur

欢迎~
我很佩服part time读书工作的人，我就下不了这个决心和勇气

welcome!
上GIS课的时候还觉得挺有意思的啊,弄出来的地图看起来很fancy...只是略知皮毛的说

I think environmental engineering is still much better than environmental
science. In China, a person with engineering background is still attractive

你好像和我做的类似。
我也搞Valves/Pipes/Pumps呵呵，不过我是宏观上用GIS表示，你好像做的是细节性质的
做这个的大部分应该在休斯敦啊，你是不是也在休斯敦？

是啊，这边这个学校没有环境工程，只有环境科学，虽然老师是环境工程博士背景，但
是只能去学这个环境科学，另外不指望从这个学位学到太多东西，只是想增加一些环境
背景为以后回国发展做准备，另外我在国内有点关系，认识一些批项目的人，想在国内
做环境或GIS方面的项目。

没，我在kansas city,这个版上应该不会有人跟我在一个地方，如果有，那肯定是熟人
。。
每个公司都有一大批做细节设计的啊，比做宏观的多4-5倍吧，应为一个概念3-4月出来
，但是细节设计到建成可以弄上1-2年
我以前上过GIS的课，觉得挺酷的，只是没有条件坚持上完拿一个certificate，现在都
有想过part time再读一读，只可惜我们公司用GIS的好少，就4-5个人，公司是肯定不
会出钱让我去读这个的。。
你的公司是专门用GIS帮别的公司做设计么？还是在一个环境公司的GIS部门？

质的

You mean there is no Environmental Engineering Program in Houston??
University of Houston, and Rice UNiversity do not have any similar program
there? I know a femal chinese assistant professor graduated from Frog
University is in the environmental engineering graduate program in Rice
University.

Sort of... met her in a workshop on membrane technology a year ago.

I know who you are talking about. However, I still don't think KC is quite a
safe place to live in. I was there for an on-site interview a long long
time ago, and for some reason I did not have a good impression on this city.

热烈欢迎！
今年回国一趟，国内现在做的挺不错的。大有可为啊！
我觉得以你的背景学环境科学比较合适。那么强的civil背景应该好好利用，没必要再
学什么环境工程了。搞明白环境管理，知道钱在什么地方，拉拉项目就足够了。

同行啊，我也在休斯敦，搞gis analyst, mapping。感觉前途也不是很光明。当然gis
本身还是很有意思的。搞搞gis相关的编程可能好点吧。另外，是不是搞pipeline相关
的gis会挣得多一点

I remembered some folks discussed on the MITBBS in Year 1999 on choosing
which type of professor to be their advisor. We all agreed that the
toguhest professor should be:
first criterion - assistant professor
second one - female
The last one - Chinese

well I would say :
try to know how many students were kicked out of the group by that professor
first
If she/he simply requires you to work hard, I do not think it a bad thing.

At the begining, GIS is fun. sometimes, it is very cool to do some fancy map
, however, i do not feel it's very useful, like CAD. it just makes report
good looking. perhaps, that's because I just know the skin of this program.
How can you find a position in Chinese Government, it's not easy.

My Background: BS: biological Science, MS: Environmental Science,
Certificate: GIS. I am gonna graduate this August, still struggling with the
job right now. I don't have any engineer background, somebody tell me if it
is easy to find a GIS job with the science background?

gis虽然吹的很响，但是真正就业的话，机会并不是很多。环境工程公司虽然用gis，但
是大部分都很简单，不需要找一个学gis的人来做。只有少数环境公司指着gis业务挣钱。
所以找gis工作要定好方向，不一定非要找环境相关的，可以找gis公司偏环境工程业务
的。到www.gjc.org上看看
如果找环境相关的工作，除非公司的gis部门招人，多数情况下gis只是点缀。
祝好运！
