Plotting A Plan

There is no easy way to achieve a goal. Work your ass off. Being in the right place at the right time helps. Planning things to a "T". Even the best laid plans may potentially fail. That being said, I would absolutely prefer to plan versus not planning.
My ultimate dream in life is to make an indelible mark on the world around me. I think that being an Urban Planner would be the best vehicle for me. For the most part, it is interdisciplinary which means that I will be able to bring all of my other knowledge and feelings to the table. Anywho, there is not way to know when you have become an Urban Planner so I guess that my goal is just to get a degree and move from there.

EDUCATION:
Bachelor's Degree
Just about done.
Master's Degree

• Need to apply for grad school
• Need to take standardized test (GMAT)
• *not required for MUPP but required for the degree that I am seeking which is a Masters in Real Estate. This is offered through LIATAUD (business)
• Get accepted to grad school
• Ph.D (not really recommended unless your desire is to teach...not my desire!!!) Don't see it...but it could very well happen. Dr. Jackson hmmm....has a nice ring to it LOL

WORK:

• Resumes (send to potential empolyers
• Applications (apply to potential employers)
• Interviews (hopefully said potential employer hires you)
• Work!! In the field or at job of your choice (uh...I mean being an urban planner!)

MY CONTACTS:
I could have lied and put down 5 email addresses from the web of urban planners who don't have the slightest clue who I am. But not going to do that. I was not able to reach anyone. When I do, I will update this blog with that info.
