that WSJ article was really annoying – typically stating  ‘facts’ that were really  bias (women want easier jobs?? what about mentoring and the availability of childcare..??)…thanks but no thanks..

? How do you get that from what I just wrote? Two questions – one asking why Tanya is alone on this and another asking whether there are a lot of women in the profession out there.
 
… followed by an explanation that women do participate, are expected to participate, and lead where I live …and no one is taken aback by it.
 
Why do you want t…[Read more]

Discrimination exists – if you don’t look at it, you can’t fight it..There are many subtleties and permutations of discrimination that are being, have been, and will continue to be,  teased out in our society, and that have been fought against over time, and won and lost..
but it exists, and will continue to exist, and continue to be a worthy…[Read more]

Photoshop can do anything. You just have to know how to use layer and build a library of trees, backgrounds, entourage, etc… Sketchup is a great quick tool to create the massing and get the proper perspective before going into photoshop. Vray and Podium are excellent plug-ins to create the photo-realistic effects you see in Rhino. 3ds Max is a…[Read more]

oh, yes, nrschmidt,  donald trump worked harder than all of us..NOT! Yes, money talks, but not for Meg Whitman..I have actually had to think about Hilary Clinton’s cleavage, because the reporters were focusing on it..gack!!! female reporters, at that..

Thanks to the 10 participants so far, keep ’em coming everyone.  At this rate I’ll be able to post the results next week.

or who is  doing the writing, Jason – Rupert Murdoch, aka, “The Wall Street Journal” has never been known for his allegiance to facts. sorry, bro, that is one source I will never even read anymore – it is like listening to FOX news – same owner, same bias, and lack of allegiance to truth..
and  Craig ,you were calling timidity the reason for b…[Read more]

Interesting article on perceived wage disparity from the Wall Street Journal…and deeper explaination as to why you can’t trust vague statistics without knowing how the numbers were arrived at…

There are no women-owned LA firms in my state. Mine will be the first when I get licensed later this year.

this link has been posted TWICE on this site..try to read it..And if you t hink the construction industry is different than the landscape architecture business, you must be some kind of IT guy and never have to go out on a site..How…[Read more]

You think women who are suing Wal-mart are paid less because they are ‘timid’? And it seems you actually don’t think they are even paid less..
wow. welcome to  your own anecdotal world, divorced from statistics or reality.. do  you know what the Lucy Ledbetter decision was? Read up on it, and how the Supreme Court denied her, and on what g…[Read more]

wow, andrew, next thing you know white men will be telling women what is best for their bodies, while making sure viagra is covered in all health plans. NO, that couldn’t happen!
like you said, Tanya, “Pretend it doesn’t exist, and it won’t.”
I would LOL but it aint funny.

Are there any women owned LA firms out there? Where are the rest of the women in your state on this? Women are very well represented in my state and in my area.I don’t even belong to ASLA or BSLA and women are highly visible in LA work. They are also well represented and hold offices in the regional Landscape Contractor’s Association. Unlicensed…[Read more]

I think i wrote you a dissertation in response, lol but i do hope it helps out.

yeaaahh….there was NO call for presentations, just a bunch of local ASLA guys getting together and deciding what kind of presentations to have….there are no panelists or panel discussions as far as I can tell.
I’ve been talking to at least one member of the conference committee to be sure to include women speakers since the inception of the…[Read more]

Did you submit a topic to moderate (with a list of female panelists) or a paper to present yourself at this conference? 
Not sure which region you are in but you made me curious about our state ASLA Conference (I’m in Texas) so I just now went on-line to see what topics were slated for the conference in two weeks and to see if there were any fe…[Read more]

Found employment = sought out a job and hired January 2009 or later.  If you managed to hold onto a job obtained prior to 2009, then this survey would not pertain to you.  The purpose is to help anyone looking for employment in our field develop a clearer picture of companies hiring habits during the worst years of the recession/recovery.  In othe…[Read more]

What do you mean by “found employment” since 2009? If I was employed in 2008, never laid-off and currently with the same company, then the survey isn’t for me? And what is the purpose of this survey? Just wondering.
By the way, for question #4, you should add an option for Recruitment Agency. A friend of mine found employment through Aerotek.

Thanks Jason.

I sent some more questions to you. Please check.
