Im sure there is some other job you can get besides the labor of landscaping,what else is there,Im not sure if this course is a degree or a certificate, but Im curious,I am really interested in landscape designing.
working with large tract developers like david weekley homes or toll brothers--although now that housing is taking a dive don't know how likely it would be to get job in that field
working with golf course design. golf clubs
therea re some groups that are trying to get people to do gardening on vacant city lots for their own food needs, to reclaim the environment, and as money maker
Okay, sorry to post again (I responded to you on the other thread) but I want you to understand, the people who are on this thread and the other thread that keep suggesting you can do things like working with golf course design, or working for a city doing Urban/Park planning, don't understand the certificate you are getting.
The certificate you are getting will not give you the back ground necessary to take the LARE, which is what you take to get your Landscape Architecture license.
You can do a lot with your certificate, I am not trying to discourage you, I just keep seeing people post jobs that you will have a hard time getting.
If you are interested in design, you need to get a degree/certificate in landscape design or a degree/masters in Landscape Architecture.

that link talks about potential jobs and I think that if this were an area in which you have a lot of passion, you could def get a job as landscape architects aren't too common (as compared to a business major...)

But do keep building your educational background, because if you do, you will be able to score the great jobs suggested here.
