I found a large job listings site for GS/GIS specialists only and found 100's of jobs across the US, so theres def. a market out there. The JMU program seems to be highly focused and technical, and they say on their website that graduates have gone straight into jobs in gov/industry, so I hope it works out...I changed my schedule already to switch into the program.
I'm definately looking at this from a career standpoint, and the jobs seem very interesting, and theres actual resources out there to learn about them. I know lots of people studying this and that, and when I ask what they want to do with it the usual answer is "uhh....i dunno...". I feel better already about the switch, thanks for the replies keep em coming
