Advancement Prospects
At some employers, GASs advance up an established tier (e.g., specialist I, specialist II, etc.) until they reach the top tier for their occupation. At that point, they can be promoted to supervisory or managerial positions. Some specialists transition to careers in sales and marketing, while others start their own geospatial analytics consulting firms. Others choose to become college teachers or write books and articles about the field.
