Hey, hope things have got better for you Thomas, I’m new to this too so not speaking from experience but generally I would say stick at it and gain some experience and then you will be in a good position and have more choice of where you can work. I hope you don’t mind but I am replying to your thread for some advice – does anybody know what is the standard wage for a newly qualified landscape architect? I have just left a uk university with a post grad diploma and wondered what the market rate in London is?  Interested to know how salaries may differ on a global scale too. Im thinking 23.5 – 25K in London, any feedback would be much appreciated.

Morning! I expect a lot of you are still fast asleep but, I am an LA student new to this site and I would like to start a discussion about professional practice. Seems like there is a really wide international community of bloggers here so would love to be able to get some opinions from you! This is actually part of my research for an essay….I am trying to investigate ways that we (in the UK) could really improve things for L.A. Should we be re-vamping our contract documents and bring them up to date? how could we improve the tendering process to make it more likely that we make some profit whilst ending up with a QUALITY design scheme? Is it the LI that is the problem?! Can we take precedent from the States or other countries’ professional practice?

 

Without hijacking the friday chat sessions I hope that this could start some kind of discussion!

 

Yours,

Alice
