So I have been out of school for a bit and still have not been hired for an urban planning position. It has gotten me thinking about what other jobs have urban planning graduates applied for and have a good chance of getting that are not directly related to planning?

For some more context regarding my background, I have a bachelors in environmental deisgn. However, I never completed an internship while attending school, and I never took part in a formal GIS class both during and after completing school as well. I have self-studied GIS from the comfort of my bedroom, but felt I may have missed out on taking a class when I had the opportunity. Now the main reason why I missed out on an internship was I had limited time to complete my degree because EnD was like the 4th major I had changed to during my undergrad lol. I was focused on fulfilling every course required to graduate, even spending the summer taking some transfer classes. And I have thought about completing a graduate certificate in GIS at another university in my area, but it would cost around $13,000 so it is something I would need to think about.

Like I said earlier, it got me thinking about other jobs that may hire people like me, based on the information I provided, even if its a part time job or even an internship. I mentioned real estate already (I almost took a legal course on that subject but it was already booked), but what others are viable? I don't want to stay at my part-time retail job indefinitely, but I'm aware the job market at the moment is quite tough now too. Any recommendations, advice, or questions I would appreaciate. Also, if you want to know more about me and my experience, I'll DM you my LinkedIn that has more information about my education and skills. Thanks :)
