<p>I’m not sure about the corporate culture in planning or landscape firms, in terms of how much input you get. The planning/development route can be quite lucrative, at least distinctly moreso than architecture.</p>
<p>We all seem to downplay it because we’ve worked our asses of to be demeaned by bosses who think they’re some sort of design gods, clients who don’t seem to think they need their services (after all, they’ve got a cousin/nephew/friend’s kid who took an interiors course in community college advising them!), come home to crummy little apartments, and watch our friends who got degrees in business buy their first homes and nice cars and go out all the time, while we spend our free time entering competitions, trying to get somebody to notice our work. It’s hard not to be a bit down on it. But if you really think you’re one of those people who would love it, then it might be worth a shot.</p>
