GIS is actually something I'm pivoting towards. My parents work for an environmental remediation subcontractor in the Midwest that uses GIS a lot in their work, and it was the first thing my mother recommended when I floated by her the idea of going back to school.

Local college has a professional certification program for it that runs only 15 credit-hours, so about 1 semester worth of classes full-time.

Combine it with a Part 107 UAS license from the FAA and you'll be golden.

This!

Its fascinating and fun and you don't have to be stuck in an office all the time.

I'm in a similar field as your parents but if I ever go back for a masters degree I'll probably do something gis related
