I earn a reasonable amount of money, I have friends and I have a job. Yet I still feel stupid. Every week, I go to work, say hi to my colleagues and do my own thing. Then I have lunch (usually at my desk so I can go on the internet at the same time) and do more work in the afternoon. At 5pm, I say bye to my colleagues, and head home. At work, all I do is data input into the GIS system and making odd phone calls to follow up on data issues. At home, I do nothing but think randomly and procrastinate. On weekends, I either go out with friends, stay at home, or walk in circles around the city. After some deep thinking, chanting and reading Buddhist articles, I realised that in order to get a permanent job and to further my career in the GIS, I will need an appropriate qualification.

I have been considering to do a higher degree since the end of last year, but I never really looked into it. I have decided that I want to do a Masters in Geographic Information Technology at The University of Melbourne. The University of Melbourne is probably the only place that offers a good solid course structure in GIS at a postgrad level. But before I rush to apply for this course, I need some advice on funding and where this will take me in my career. I don’t want to make the wrong choice again and do something that I won’t even use. So if anyone can give me some advice please please please leave your comments here….
