How do you decide what career to pursue? (Nursing, LA, Art)
(I'm currently in community college trying to better my gpa and explore topics) I'm interested in topics like sustainability, design, and health research, but I'm more of a creative person(drawing, painting, writing, singing). For my careers, I've been going between being a landscape architect or being a nurse because I think pursuing a career in the arts isn't reliable enough. Ultimately, I'm unsure though because those careers have big exams that I might not pass, and I kinda screwed my gpa in my first year of college so if I want to pursue nursing I'd have to retake a few courses. My worry about Landscape Architecture is that it might be too long of a path; having to get the degree, gain experience for a couple years then pass the LARE exam. I'm unsure of what other careers are out there that spark my interest. I am just very unsure for what I should do this upcoming semester and what to pursue for a career in general. (I'm interested in college major and career ideas)

As a landscape architect, will it be possible for me to implement more landscapes and green into big cities? #landscape architecture
My dream as a landscape architect is to implement rooftop gardens, window boxes, and varieties of other things to make big cities greener. I want to know how possible it would be for me to do that after I graduate from the landscape architecture program, and if I can do that through a firm or if I should do that through my own firm, allowing for that to be our mission. #landscape-architecture #architecture #social-entrepreneurship #social-impact #career-specific
