I am a cartographer. What a rewarding job by showing the way through the study and practice of making maps.
That's very interesting! Do you enjoy what you do?
Of course yes as it combines  science, aesthetics, and technique. We builds on the premise that reality can be modeled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively.
Is there a lot of schooling required for this job?
Not a lot as the first map is a matter of some debate, both because the term "map" isn't well-defined and because some artifacts that might be maps might actually be something else.
