Dear Caesar:
Is it possible to change your career plan like, on a dime? Cuz well, I kinda had no career plan and then I just took this placement test and I got urban planning 98% and I looked it up and like. Bolt from the heavens. It's so me. Lookit this:
You have to solve complex problems; I live for that. It's about helping people by finding what's wrong with their environments and making it right; that's like, my default brain setting. You spend time in the office and in the field, you have to work in teams and communicate, and you spend a lot of time researching, planning, and developing; it's not the same thing over and over, you're constantly running around. Plus, you get projects and complete them and then move on. You get a sense of accomplishment, it's not the same grind day in, year out, decade after decade. Best part: you. are. God. Urban planners invented the suburbs, the "Gaybourhood," the shopping mall, even little things like seating areas near the bus shelters. Where would we be without a covered bus shelter? How would hookers get their blow?
I just feel like this is me. It's all about people but not, like, teaching. It's social and persuasive, it's thinky and hard brain work, it's probably not often boring, it's specific projects daily, it's self-directed, it's open-ended. San Francisco has thousands of urban planners and it's a growth industry, and anywhere that is willing to pay for someone else to do the research to save the city money will always need an urban planning because, urban decay? Expansion? Poverty, crime, vandalism? Planetary epidemic.
So that's another master's I gotta collect...
