In the same boat
Not only am I graduating with the same degree as you, ebeech121, I also go to the same school! I guess I'm not the only Georgia State person on here now.
I don't feel qualified enough to give you any good suggestions but I can tell you that my goal has been to get as much job experience variety as possible. I've worked for a nonprofit community development corporation downtown, the planning department of an Atlanta suburb, and now find myself doing research for an intown home builder. I originally wanted to do a couple of internships before going to grad school at Tech for a master's in planning but I've since found myself wandering into real estate development (go figure.) I also would like to stay in Atlanta and I can tell you that there are at lot of different opportunities out there for us but its tough to get paid and get your foot in the door.
That being said, I think it's all about how you present yourself to employers, whether they be public, private, or nonprofit entities. Whenever I tell people what my degree will be in, they always ask what it actually means. Some would see this as a negative but I see it as a positive. Use your knowledge of the employer's needs and your school work to explain why you can make a definite impact at that job. In my mind urban planning, economic development, and real estate all look at the same things but from different viewpoints. This is why I have come to appreciate the generalist approach of our program.The whole experience thing is kind of a catch-22 but I'm definitely going to work for a few years before I consider grad school again.
So now I'm going to get off my soapbox and hope that I've been able to help you out some. If not, shoot me an email and we can help each other out down here.
