Drunk Tomato posted: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. Which is weird, because most of the actual planning related curriculum is undergrad. Masters is much more abstract/research/policy. Uziduke posted:I am thinking of getting a Urban and Regional planning Degree over a business degree in accounting or finance. Do not loving do this. 100% you should get the finance or accounting degree. Most people go into planning and think that they are eventually going to be playing SimCity. You will not. The vast majority of your work is reviewing developments for zoning and environmental compliance. It's largely really boring and about attention to detail. The problem is most of the fun parts of urban planning will be done by people with other degrees: Affordable Housing? Finance/MBA/Master of Real Estate Development Transportation? Sometimes planners but often engineers Environmental planner? Engineers and/or natural sciences Policy? Lawyers or Policy Urban Design? Landscape architects Budgets? Finance/Economics Planning positions are hyper competitive in the public sector, and most private planning positions are done by other professions.

You will literally have both higher compensation and job security with those other degrees.
