US News and World Report profiled urban planning in its Best Careers 2009 feature earlier this month, calling it a "multi-faceted job for a multi-talented person." What I found really interesting were the comments; over 50 people took the time to write real critique (and not the junk you usually find on news articles) about the article's prognostications on salary ranges and job prospects.
Some took the time to write more thoughtful comments about their career trajectories, how they transitioned from the public sector to the private sector and vice versa. Others laughed at the magazine's distinction of planning as a "best career" for 2009, citing the economic downturn and the subsequent slowdown in development and hiring freezes in the public sector.
After reading this article, what do you think?
