In the past couple of decades, new careers in map making have arrived on the scene. Much of this is due to the advances in map making technology and application. Below are some a few of the most interesting opportunities for map makers.
Map Making Firm
There are many small and large firms that make maps. They have a range of clients with a diverse set of mapping needs. Map makers in these businesses can often find themselves dealing with a variety of different assignments, which may all be in house or out on location. Sometimes, after years of work, map makers are known to branch out and open their own firms. Often, they are specialty businesses, focusing on certain types of maps.
Law Enforcement
Map makers work in various police entities using GIS (geographical information systems) to analyze and present information on overlapping maps. This allows police to see emerging patterns of crimes specific to location, time and certain demographic factors.
Professor
For all the professionals in the industry, there are the professors that taught them. Many universities have very developed map making studies departments with some of the best minds in the field, such as Drew University.
