No one knows what that is right? Well it is my major in college. I have been trying to find a place to start work as soon as i graduate but it is hard. I want to work near Portland Oregon but that too is difficult. I don't know anyone who has an in at any of the places I am applying to so it is even more difficult. I dont care that i live two hours away. I am willing to go for an interview if it is offered. I really want to work in Transportation Planning but if I have to work in regular planning then that to is ok!

I would love to hear more about that field. You say you'd prefer Transportation Planning...would that be like figuring out new road systems or something?

I didnt at first either when I started classes. It is about city planning and learning about the history of the city and other things that deal with the city in general.

That is one thing that a transportation planner does. It is a dream of mine to do planning with public transportation to expand, better, and make a better rep for. I also want to work on link and rail projects!

My minor is applied computing.. I figured it made sense to have some sort of computer stuff attached to my degree LOL

In the South Puget Sound they passed the funding for our link rail but people are not happy. :/ they had to cut a bunch from the prop but a least we can connect parts of the Sound :/
