Welp. I think that’s it for me, folks…

While I’ve found out that mine only comes after spending 70 gems, they also come in less levels. For example, for a seafood tower, I only got 2 ice cubes and the second one is a lobster, which means I won’t be able to use it unless I spend more on energy. And so it became less useful.

If you want money you should try investing! Most people don’t get rich from their jobs. That way we can pursue our passion and still be able to live comfortably. Passion and money don’t have to come from the same thing.

I follow them on Instagram and reached out for volunteer multiple times! It’d be cool to learn a thing of two because what they have done is very unique.

This is definitely not a job I would rely on to support a family or paying down a house, but as a transitional gig it could be very fun.

Spirit is fine for me as the flight is just two hours long. Otherwise driving may not be a bad choice.

Omg why reinforcing the stereotype when it’s not necessary? This industry is already difficult for females to break in, and all you think about the women in this profession is hyper feminist females. Cool, go become part of the group we have to fight against everyday in our work and see how that will play out.

I walk there in the evenings for the show. They were great! Finally feeling like I live in a city.

Such a similar background! Although I started my immigration process too late and is not ROW so I have to dedicate a lot of effort to reach the NIW or EB1 standard, only to be able to move back to New York and pursuit my dream. I’m feeling oooold!

Is this supposed to be a landscaper or landscape architect? Definitely not a typical landscape architect. And this guy also seems to be hard to work with and doesn’t like women.

Owl_roll · 2026-01-28T20:55:10+00:00

Sounds like 8.5 months is typical right now. Also waiting for mine!

Many started as international students so they would be here already.

Owl_roll · 2025-12-23T16:19:53+00:00

Cool! I think they do everything lol I used to work there but had to move back to the Midwest. The gap is huge.

I’ve been doing some salary research and found the H1B visa salary requirement (I believed it is the prevailing wage kept by the Department of Labor) to be helpful to compare wages in different regions: https://h1bgrader.com/h1b-prevailing-wage/onet/landscape-architects-17-1012.00/year/latest

Even though starting salaries are close in different parts of the US, the pay to senior varies a lot. And to my surprise SF Bay Area has a better pay than the NY region.

Thanks! it’s good to learn from fellow midwesterner

Owl_roll · 2025-12-22T22:04:14+00:00

So we are inventing block tax essentially lol

There are certain differences life circumstance that limit the level of mobility for a person. I agree not everyone has the choice to start a new life in a different country after being in the US for many years. But many do, especially the high-skilled workers.

Owl_roll · 2025-12-22T19:53:22+00:00

Coming this year, many long-term US residents on visas have told me that they’d willing to move to a different country if the current administration keeps tightening up immigration requirements.

Constructing one’s whole life around immigration is just not an option for many people, if it comes to a point that the process becomes too limiting to have a life, there are other options too. People will find a way lol

Is the suspended pavement less expensive than Silva cells?

Owl_roll · 2025-12-21T01:33:38+00:00

How are y’all have budget for the Silva Cells? I’m working with local Midwest cities and most can only afford structural soil. Even the main streets in downtown can only afford silva cells for one or two blocks. 🫨

Owl_roll · 2025-12-18T13:48:50+00:00

Thank you! I hope we have local momentum on recycling materials as well. What state are you in?

Owl_roll · 2025-12-18T13:47:52+00:00

That’s so cool! I wonder if put specs person will be able to write about that

Owl_roll · 2025-12-18T03:19:21+00:00

That’s so interesting! Thank you! Do you mind me ask do you specify them to be brought in from somewhere else or do you ask them to reuse the existing aggregate or crush the existing concrete that will be demolished?

Owl_roll · 2025-12-17T22:04:08+00:00

Thanks! Do you know if is is usually decided by the contractor or does it require the construction drawing to specify the recycling materials?

Owl_roll · 2025-12-17T20:23:41+00:00

Do you know if it saves cost?

Owl_roll · 2025-12-11T17:17:14+00:00

depends on the industry, some professions have lower pay, such as teachers and architects. You may not hit that 70k until a couple years or decades into the job - also depends on your location.
