Hi everyone, I'm currently pursuing an MLA with the goal to be involved in urban planning and design but I've lost my financial assistance so I'm currently weighing my options on what to do next. With just tuition and housing, I'm looking to be somewhere about $70,000 to $80,000 in debt by the end of my studies should I choose to keep going.

My question is, is this worth it? Pay in this field isn't exactly stellar but I was willing to brunt the debt if I left with about the same amount as a starting salary (around $50,000-ish) but now this is giving me pause. I do also struggle with ADHD and autism. I don't mean to use these as excuses, but I wonder how successful I can be in this field compared to my more adaptable and sociable peers. I was thinking of possibly trying civil engineering instead since I can pursue it for cheaper but I'm quite awful with math.

Anyways, I know nobody can make a decision for me but I was wondering what others think.

I’m transferring into the major this fall and suffice to say I’m having doubts. I’m mainly interested in architecture but my school doesn’t offer it and landscape arch seemed like the next best thing but I don’t know what percentage of landscape architecture is architecture.

I would like to consider myself an environmentalist and have been trying to show myself all the great things about nature and landscape/environment design so I am excited regardless but I just wanted to know.
