My son and I recently completed part 107. I knew nothing of drones 5 months ago, took the class so that they had enough students for my son to complete the course (local community college). Then, the bug hit! Bought a MA2 for recreational flying, now thinking of next steps. My background is investment management; lots of contacts in various industries, little transferable skills in drone use. Looking at a certificate in geomatics, thermal certificate as places to start, but do not want to go too far down the rabbit hole with no end-game plan. I live between two large cities and a lot of farm land. As I am quickly realizing, the value is in the data and interpretation, not in the drone flight itself. Hoping to learn from others' experiences and contribute. Next purchase likely a Phantom 4 due to its utility.
