[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of parents making excuses for their kids here. It’s everybody else’s fault, etc. There are plenty of 24 year olds that have figured out how to live by themselves by now, I guess they made it happen instead of making excuses. [/quote]

Not a single poster has made excuses for their kids. Yes plenty of kids work it out. Plenty more have significant parental help for years. What’s your point? This kid sounds like a good, hard-working kid in need of some tome to reset. Some of you are really harsh on the kids.[/quote]

He's not a kid at 24. He can drink, vote, marry, and serve in the military all by 21. At 24 he needs to shit or get off the pot...read figure out his life.

If he has a degree in Urban Planning and GIS he should have been working and interning to get career experience and/or moving a central point where those degrees are needed.

BTW - a lot of architects struggle. It's not really field where people flourish, so picking it in the first place unless you're very good is a non-starter.[/quote]

Fun study but big oversupply of architect degrees. Been that way for decades. One needs to network to break into the industry, the jobs are at private partnerships.  He needs to pop in to some professors and brainstorm about some job tracks and companies. Has he had any relevant internships or coop programs in that industry.

City planning with more of an engineering tilt? WOrk for local or state government?[/quote]
