The Mappyist Hour - Career Stuff

In this episode of The Mappiest Hour, hosts Tee Barr and Silas Toms fly solo to tackle the nitty-gritty of geospatial careers. They start by discussing the challenges of teaching advanced Python and the shift toward tools like Jupyter Notebooks and the Orfeo Toolbox for machine learning. The conversation takes a sharp turn into the realities of the job market, where the duo roasts a job posting for the City of Bonita Springs that requires an entire IT department's worth of skills for less than $18 an hour. They wrap up by discussing imposter syndrome, the importance of mentorship, and why "Data Cleaning" should be a mandatory class for every aspiring geographer.
