"Think about what you want to spend your days doing is a much better career plan than to find a title, and wanting to be that thing." Great life advice in this random video I found.

Totally agree about figuring what you want to do vs finding a title. Perfect advice.

Planning is a dynamic and ever changing field, and a vital profession in shaping the communities in which we live.

I’ve graduated from architecture and I plan to pursue a career in urban planning, probably as a town planner. I have a little experience in architectural practice however I feel like Im leaned towards city planning. I plan to apply for a position in a planning firm/practice without having any degree in urban planning. I plan to acquire some experiences first and then continue my study in Master of Urban Planning.

So my question is;

Is it possible for an architect graduate to work in a planning firm? What should I expect? What sort of knowledge that I need to acquire first? What kind of position that I should go for for entry-level?

The only thing property developers are interested in developing is their profit margin. They care nothing about turning that empty lot into something useful or beautiful.

Lots of mean-spirited, spiteful, vengeful people become city planners.
