Tonie Cox replied to Edward Kinney, MLA, RLA, ISAcert's discussion 'City or Firm Employment- Which is Better?'"I agree with the location issue.

My first job in landscape…"
Wyatt Thompson, PLA replied to Edward Kinney, MLA, RLA, ISAcert's discussion 'City or Firm Employment- Which is Better?'"The program I graduated from provided a lot great "nuts and bolts" education with a lot of emphasis on construction.

Robert Primeau replied to Edward Kinney, MLA, RLA, ISAcert's discussion 'City or Firm Employment- Which is Better?'"That sounds like an interesting mix of work right now! I have a history of working in government and I like the fit for a variety of reasons. I currently work for my State governmnent doing air monitoring, and I like that I'm serving the…"
Wyatt Thompson, PLA replied to Edward Kinney, MLA, RLA, ISAcert's discussion 'City or Firm Employment- Which is Better?'"Robert, what interests you about municipal work?
I've only been in this position 3.5 months, so the list of completed works is not all that long. I currently have 2 projects under construction - a natural playground and a small retaining wall.…"

I expected to see some…"
Edward Kinney, MLA, RLA, ISAcert replied to Andrew Boyd's discussion 'Get me excited about an MLA!'"I Think there are lots of types of jobs that make great changes.
Some are the big pretty photo-op projects that go on the cover of LA Magazine. These make changes in the world because they inspire people. If you want to be inspired pick up any ASLA…"
Edward Kinney, MLA, RLA, ISAcert replied to Michael Krueger's discussion 'Landscape Architecture Vs. Architecture'"Find yourself a college where the arch and LA schools go hand in hand. Some schools put LA in the Agriculture school. Some put it in an environmental design school.
My college put LA in the School of Architecture. This gave us a lot of opportunity…"

toby replied to Edward Kinney, MLA, RLA, ISAcert's discussion 'City of Firm Employment- Which is Better?'"I went from self/unemployment to a big, lethargic, bureaucratic mess of a place. Idealism has been been sort of squashed. But I'm not quitting; the benefits of employment are way too nice.
If you land the job, get ready for politics…"

I try to keep up with Land8, but find that I don't use it much myself. How are you these days? What are you up to?
