Careers in Planning

Is a Planning Career for Me?
If you answer “YES” to any of these questions, you should seriously consider becoming a planner!

  • Are you interested in positive social, economic, environmental, and physical change?
  • Do you want to work with people from various backgrounds to develop a better community?
  • Do you like to communicate with others about ideas, programs, and plans?
  • Are you challenged by complex problems–and excited about being part of a cooperative process to devise solutions to those problems?
  • Do you think about the future–about what could be–rather than about what is?
