Don't I know it! The economy is supposed to be relatively strong in Edmonton but that doesn't mean they have design jobs, especially not for a landscape architect. They have to source their biggest design work to out of town shops because the profession is so small here, and as I mentioned there's no school so they lack that as a resource to develop local talent. That's what I meant by wanting to throttle well-meaning people.

The city is in its final stages of a design competition to envision the re-use of the City Centre Airport. None of the finalists are local, although they are reported to have local partners but I can't figure out who they are. It's like some closely guarded state secret.

I'm glad your DIL found something that makes her happy. It's hard to make a change like that after all the blood sweat and tears that go into finishing a program like that. (In my case I also went through blunt physical trauma ) Especially at RISD, I don't think anyone half-asses their way through that place!

I may need to make a change but I don't know what that would be. I'm kind of thinking to let it happen organically, because making plans never seems to work.
