Reply To: Anyone know what the job market is like for an MLA grad?

I just had a scary vision of me starting my own business without proper training under seasoned Landscape Architects and Designers. The thought of me making a living building my crappy rookie designs sends chills down my spine. Funny thing is, I though I was ready for primetime until my first boss schooled me.

My five year BSLA program was very intense and I still had tons to learn after I graduated. I don’t see how they could have crammed any more into it without killing students.

Don’t be in too much of a hurry to start your own business. Unless you’re independently wealthy, it’s probably smarter to learn from your mistakes on somebody else’s dime.
