3rd Year Landscape Architecture Student....what kind of work should I expect to be doing when I graduate?
I am a third year LA student, and have a pretty good grasp of what the field has to offer. However, design is very subjective and I am curious as to what kind of work I can expect to be doing after school. I doubt I would actually be designing for a while, but is mindless CAD work excpected? I know it depends on firm/firm but in general. Thanks for any help.

- Unfortunately Archictects are a lot like Med students. You do a lot of work and you're still in the "student" status. You will spend countless years as an intern. Most firms will probably require you to get an advnaced/Master's degree. You'll be brand new in a place where there's an average of 10-15 years experience surrounding you. You have a long way to go. But the good news is that since it's a requirement to have an advanced degree you may be able to get into a firm that will pay for you to get your degree. Use that opportunity to learn and go back to school on your company's dime. But for the most part your job will be to just keep learning
