If God wanted us sober,
He'd knock the glass over.
I have a bachelors in a planning-related field, and I can confirm that a masters is pretty much required to get hired as a planner.

What part of the country are you in? The undergrads coming out of my alma mater in the Midwest seem to have done pretty well for themselves, at least in terms of finding entry-level employment.

Seattle area. I didn't have trouble finding jobs, but they were underpaid temp contacts until I lucked out with a job at a private sector civil engineering firm. I am a consultant at a bunch of government agencies through that job. Needless to say, I don't use my actual planning degree at all, except when I talk to people about urban design.

Of my classmates, the only ones who got actual planning jobs were those who went on to get MUP degrees.
