I'm interested in urban planning, but really don't know much about it. This is my impression so far - that it is a rather broad profession dealing with anything from how to implement plans physically, to how to pay for them, to how they impact the people in the community. The most helpful thing I've found so far has been this website from the Canadian Institute of Planners: http://www.cip-icu.ca/English/aboutplan/career.htm. This is what I've mainly based my current limited understanding on. Can anyone shed some light on what urban planning really is? Is my impression correct, or am I off base? What career options do people with a planning degree have?
That's another thing - I have a bachelor's degree in Spanish and education - not particularly related to planning, if what I think I know is correct. What do people know about how that would affect a) entrance to graduate programs and b) career possibilities afterward?
I appreciate any advice people can give me - the little information I've managed to find out so far has really intrigued me, but I'd like to hear from people that are really out there doing it.
Thanks for taking the time to help out a potential planner!
