Well, I feel pretty inadequate here from reading some of the other introductions. I work for Indiana University, currently in an IT/Statistics type field. I have a 2 year degree in Computer Information Systems (Specialty Analyst). I'm here for a variety of reasons. Like a lot of folks, I'm contemplating the future and its options. I'm a history buff who has always had a soft spot for maps and cartography, so I have personal as well as professional interest in projecting myself into the GIS field although I'm still evaluating just what my best route should be toward achieving that. Thus, I register at CartoTalk to satisfy my curiosity and interest in the map/carto discussions and viewing and hopefully satisfy some questions and concerns I have about the field in an employment settings as well. Hope to spend some good time here from now on.

Thanks,

Welcome! History and cartography can go hand in hand and are both interesting subjects. I know we have several people here who have made some cool maps of historical subjects.
