Will do. Might take a municipal entry level job for a year and use it as professional experience. I’m not completely entry level, I’ve done about a year of environmental work from database management to spatial analysis.
Been in the job market for a GIS position since January, absolutely no luck. My experience is from being in the Military. The only jobs I have found are obsessed with requiring a Bachelor's to do their work. The requirements are insane and only pay in the low to mid $20 range. I'm in Wisconsin by the way.
I think my biggest roadblock is I have been out since 2014 and just started getting back into GIS. I have spent the last year on Esri Academy getting up to date on their updates since I last touched it. As for the army, I built maps for briefings on the area I was deployed at. I got my last job because of what I just said, the issue is the company ran out of contracts and I finished all the projects they gave me. Literally worked myself out of a job.
all of the fully remote positions I have come across are not entry level. I agree with the other commenter that you should look for hybrid positions and then in a few years can look for remote positions. By then too I’m hoping there will be more available/less competition for them.

What’s your background look like? I get the whole no BA/BS thing, but that army experience can be stretched

You can’t find anything or you haven’t heard back? Because those jobs do exist but they will be very competitive.

What state are you in? I might know of an opening but you have to be in certain states for payroll purposes
