Reply To: Can I apply for MLA programs or jobs in LA?

Well put Andrew.

Omar – it seems you have skill sets that are valuable in the profession both computing and (presumably) broader conception of ‘sustainability.’  Many LA graduate programs (at least in the US) are geared toward those of us who studied something else.  For example, my classmates had undergraduate degrees in art, english, art history, engineering, biology, policy, photography; many had a few years of work experience varying from publishing to environmental law.  In terms of jobs, you’ll have more success if you have a network to work with as the computing skills are what would make you most useful to a firm.  Minor in sustainable studies won’t get you much in LA.
