Speaking at the opening plenary session of the ESRI Federal User's Conference at the Washington Convention Center (Wash. DC), Jack Dangermond expounded on the many applications his user's were employing at the federal level. But he also mentioned one key issue: lots of problems in the world, environmental, political, and health-related, create lots of opportunities for GIS. "I am certain that you and I will be fully employed for a long time."
This of course once again highlights the dearth of trained GIS professionals that many have alluded to recently, especially at the federal level and perhaps the expanding need be recognized as a GISP to provide a foundation for the required training.
