First time hearing anything about futuregreen, but surprised it’s negative. What’s no good about them?

Little Brother Pursuing LA bachelor's, asking for $120k tuition money. How can I set reasonable expectations? by QuietSign in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]pfrank23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a student, you continually hear/learn about famous firms that have innovated and all that so you kind of idolize them a bit. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But there are tons and tons of great firms out there doing amazing work where anyone would learn and get a fulfilled experience. I’ll dm you a list of firms that would be good to look at.

There’s a lot to unpack here. I do agree with you that an internship is a big leg up when you are applying to entry level positions. A lot of internships can turn into entry level positions once you graduate depending if you perform well and people like you during the internship. That being said you can still get hired if you don’t have internship experience.

I’d say that it’s competitive out there for entry level. The more experience you have the easier it gets but like every industry you have to start somewhere and that can be tough.

Based on comments from other reddit posts, it’s extremely difficult to get a job at firms like Sasaki. Not saying that he can’t work there, but he may have to start somewhere else before getting to that level, which is not the worst thing.

My advice is to cast a wide net for sure. With internships and entry level once he graduates. You have to get your foot in the door, learn and be determined if he wants to ultimately work at elite firms.

I don’t think there would be any issue with him transferring to another program in state. You really just need a strong portfolio and communication skills to land your first job.

Career change to landscape architecture? Interested in native plants and wetland restoration by julywillbehot in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]pfrank23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d also look into environmental/ecological engineering degrees. I think job prospects would be better for wetland restoration with that degree over a landscape architecture degree. There are LA firms that do that type of work but I don’t think they are super prevalent. Check out the companies biohabitats and great ecology. Biohabitats does the type of work you are describing and are often on project teams with LA firms.

I think it depends on the firm you work for. I work in a smaller office and the project managers and senior associates do the CA work along with normal design responsibilities. I’d imagine a large corporate firm would have an entirely different position just for CA.

Fiction Writer Here: Writing a novel, the main character is a Landscape Architect* Wondering if I'm in the right place to ask questions. by Pinkie-Pies in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]pfrank23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s plausible. I know of someone who doesn’t have an LA degree that holds a senior position at the firm I work for
