Hi everybody

[Mr. Planner]

Hi my name is mark and I am a senior at the University of South Florida in Tampa. My degree is in Geography, and I was just checking out sites and came across this one.
Ive always been interested in skyscrapers and cities as a young person, and the game simcity was nice also in the 5th grade
Why do I feel like im making a introduction at a AA meeting lol
Thats all I guess for now,
Mark

Welcome Geographer. That degree in geography will serve you well. My wife and I have six of them between us. BTW - we are far more messed up than an AA crowd here in Cyburbia land. Now you are one of us.

Four for four now in Geography degrees. But what else are we going to do... well, besides teach...

Welcome Mark!

 

[PlannerGirl]

[OhioPlanner]

So, what are your plans after graduation???

 

[Cardinal]

Another geographer here. Don't mind Tranplanner, he's a Canadien. They may have a superiority complex, but they are harmless. Welcome.

 

[Mr. Planner]

Thanks you all, this is one nice forum.

Well right now I am in the process of getting some internships so I can get some experience with planning, there are some smaller cities around here maybe I can get with them just to see what its like.

No degree in Geography, but just about enough credit hours for a minor. I do have a BS in Wildlife Biology though.... How's that for something different.

 

[Zoning Goddess]

Howdy. I have my B.A. in Geography from Uof Fla but did graduate work in Public Admin at USF; differing in time zones, however, I was introduced to Sim City in grad school in about 1988/89. Ouch!
And I'm still in FL.

 

[Trail Nazi]

Yay, another geography person. Although, mine is only a minor from FSU. I should have finished out the degree though, it is very useful.

 

[Repo Man]

I haven't taken a geography class since high school. I went the Political Science BA and Masters in Planning route.

Anyhow welcome aboard. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Tampa-St.Pete-Clearwater area. My Grandparents lived there for 25 years and I visted 2-3 times a year until they moved back to Indiana.

Hello!

Yep yep yep. hazy hazy memories of that one. lots and lots of fun, though. the best was the following year in Texas. oh the memories!

 

[PlannerGirl]

I totally agree. I just remember walking around downtown thinking "Where are all the cars?" and just 4 years later, going out and realizing what a cool little city it is.
