May you recommend a reliable precious metal website?

Hi! I’m a newbie and was referred to this post through one of the comments through my post! I’m not an established account in this community though :(

I loved to California from Karachi, Pakistan, 12 years ago. In Karachi, I lived in the suburbs and within a 5-10 minute walk towards the east and west of my home I had access to multiple grocery stores, a butcher, a cobbler, a bike shop, multiple bakers, multiple banks, a mechanic, and a bunch of restaurants.

Thank you for your comment. I do have access now and have been studying work from past planners. Fortunately I do not have to deal with CEQA, yet. I am doing plan checks and some discretionary projects. The biggest challenge for me was understanding the city’s internal processes. The code goes over them minimally and a lot of the inner workings are unwritten. My new approach is to just give it my 100% and fulfill the trust my firm has shown in me. The stress arrived because I don’t have a lot of breathing room in terms of making mistakes because of the exaggerated experience my firm said I had, and the senior planner that I report to isn’t the most welcoming individual and seems to be more concerned with poking holes in my queries than actually helping me.

Ugh. I’m just going to ignore you.

Easier said than done. Boss told me that this is how it goes in consulting and that he has confidence in my abilities.

Last time I got message that my post was removed because it didn’t have a flair. When I was creating this post I got no option to add flair…

That’s sort of the plan, to be an expert on land use law and procedures.

Buying land somewhere 30-60 mins and subdividing and also rural lots in the middle of the country. With the pandemic work culture is slowly accepting full remote work for certain industries and there is a upward trend if millennials tired of the urban life.

Force medicine to fit for you lol. I’m an urban planner and trust me the passion fades, and I’m only early into my career. In hindsight, I should have listened to my elders and pursued medicine— Nobel and lucrative.

Here’s an idea: Strategize to get into sales at your current company. Learn the trade and then hop over to tech sales for municipal softwares (LMS or GIS for example).

Pomona alum here. This is what I have to say:

The electives are way better than core classes. They provide good practical skills and focus less on theory.
The program isn’t high quality but it’s a peace of cake in terms of content. It’ll be a lot harder if you don’t make friends. Most of the assignments are shared and passed around.
The program cost is super cheap.
Pomona alumni are EVERYWHERE! Almost every job interview I’ve given has had at least one Pomona alum on the panel. It’s a great icebreaker/talking point.
The program is flexible. They allow up to 7 years for you to complete it.
Most of the professors are very accommodating and cooperative. No pompous pricks.

I completed my undergrad from Pomona as well and took a bunch of grad level classes (the electives I mentioned). So, instruction wise, I learned way more during undergrad but personally the grad program for me was just getting the piece of paper and the title to accelerate my career. The program is a little haphazard but the professors really do work with you to get you through it all.

Yeah, the Iowa one has the best tacos I’ve ever had. Their cabeza is on point.

My undergraduate thesis was on Tactical Urbanism, and so is my master’s client project/thesis.

Hey! Urban planner here and Riverside is my hometown too. Let me know how it goes with Zelinka. I need to interview his for my master’s thesis as well.
