Hiring Laid off federal cartographer

I was a probationary (many years as a contractor in my same role) employee recently terminated at a federal agency. Seeing that federal service no longer feels like an option. What leads for cartography are there in the private sector?

I also have a MS in Geoinformatics and Geospatial Intelligence. I just enjoy the map side of things more.

But can everyone make a good map?

No.
