If you’re looking to get into urban planning I can tell you that your undergrad is not that important. I did my undergrad in geography which is a typical route and it was helpful in some aspects but I wouldn’t say it was necessary. In my masters cohort we had people with degrees in psychology, business, art history, philosophy, ect. and a couple architects from India.
A lot of degrees are useful to urban planning, even if they aren’t the typical route. It’s really about how you apply that degree and understanding to the field. Philosophy and sociology are good for the policy part, business is good for the finance and economic part, ect.
Working for a city can be challenging especially if you have aspirations and want to see real change, something that was drilled into my cohort in school but took a couple years in the field for some people to figure out. Maybe non profit or a private company aligned to your values might be a better route than public of you’re looking to get into something adjacent to public planning. That being said, just being an active member in your community and speaking up for projects you believe in at council meetings is more impactful than writing the policy.
I think the last game I bought out of fomo was the og COD WM2 on 360. I didn’t have much money for games until like two years ago so I really only bought what I knew and only took a chance on games I knew were hyped and looked like something I was into (ie Skyrim).
I don’t really care about what’s new if it doesn’t interest me. Bought BG3 cause it got a lot of hype and I’ve airways wanted to get into DnD and this looked like a good way. Don’t think I’m going to buy Starfield, at least not at release.
I’ve been at work an hour and haven’t done anything. I have some things to work on but they aren’t due for a week or so and I can finish them fairly fast so no point rushing.
I usually spend the morning catching up on news and relaxing until 10 then work until lunch, depending on whether I get my tasks done for the day I’ll continue working after lunch or go back to nothing. Some times I get to go out for site visits so that’s fun and eats up part of my day. Spent 40 minutes talking to some old lady named Flo about her garden yesterday on a site visit.
When we’re busy we’re busy and I work hard but summers are always slow and my boss is wfh today.
I have a pretty close group of male friends from highschool that I would like to say I know pretty well. I moved away from our hometown in my early twenties 10 years ago so it’s hard to keep up with the lives, who they’re dating, etc. We have a group chat that’s mostly just memes and stuff but it gives us a chance to reach out.
I’ve used it a couple times to draft reports, most of what it writes is pretty garbage but it’s good for generating general filter sentences and structure and stuff that I don’t want to waste the time thinking about.
I’ve also used it to generate Facebook posts, it’s awesome at this however recently I’ve had to make a point to telling it not to include emojis or the posts get overloaded
