    通常是城市規劃碩士學歷的規劃師。

  • The other skill sets that they're looking for are generally a familiarity with ArcGIS

    你要試著找出真正讓你感興趣的領域,還有你擅長的領域。

  • Maybe you're interested in environmental planning,

    或許你對環境規畫有興趣,

  • but are you more interested in the project management side

    但你是對計劃案管理面比較有興趣,

  • or the community outreach side, or the analysis side,

    還是社區拓展面,或是分析面,

  • that's something I think you learn in your first job.

    我想那些是你在第一份工作會了解到的。

  • Over time, you might be promoted to different positions

    隨著時間過去,你可能會晉升到不同職位,

  • depending on what your skills set is.

    這要根據你所具備的技能有哪些。

  • There's very obvious ways to be promoted in government from City Planner I, to City Planner II, to City Planner III, and so forth,

    在政府機關裡有很明確的升遷方式,從一級城市規劃師、二級城市規劃師,到三級、四級城市規劃師,

    但如果你不想只是當政府機關的公務員,

    你可能是在私人企業工作。

    你更可能賺更多錢,

    計畫案經理、計畫案主任、協理、

  • all these different titles that, you basically,

    所有各式各樣的職稱,基本上,

  • they're not always clear what the promotional titles are for City Planner.

    城市規劃師的升遷職稱總是模糊不清。

    所以你必須要看過工作敘述、跟人們聊過,才能分辨工作內容,

  • whether or not it's a good fit for you.

    知道那份工作是否適合你。

  • I think most City Planners do end up working for the government

    我想多數城市規劃師最終會在公部門工作,

  • and staying working for the government.

    也就這樣一直下去。

  • That's something that really draws City Planners is

    真正吸引城市規劃者的是

  • the prospect of serving their communities.

    為他們的社區服務的願景。

  • However, there are better salary prospects

    然而,還是有可能獲得比較好的薪資待遇,

  • if you looked toward city planner jobs in the private world,

    如果你在私人企業尋找城市規劃師的工作,

  • and that might be working for,

    可能的工作內容是,

  • like, an international building or development firm that works on large scale planning projects.

    像是服務領域是大型規劃案的國際建築或是開發公司。

  • They might work on large scale city plans

    他們可能會標下數個大型城市計畫案,

  • to support a city that doesn't quite have its own urban planning staff to complete a project.

    好協助某些沒有自己的都市計畫工作人員的城市來完成計畫案。

  • They might do environmental analysis

    他們可能會做環境分析,

  • that the city doesn't have the technical staff for.

    有些城市沒有這樣的技術人員。

  • So, a lot of times, private firms are, end up actually supporting the city,

    所以,大部分的私人企業最終其實也是在支持這個城市,

  • or they're supporting a developer in their work.

    或是他們是用自己的工作來支持開發者。

  • And, the salary prospects at a private firm are much more lucrative.

    然後,私人企業的薪資待遇是比公部門多蠻多的。

  • They work, probably, longer hours than I do at the city government,

    他們的工時可能會比我在公部門還長,

  • but eventually at a private firm you might make 125,000 or 150,000 dollars a year.

    但最後你在私人企業可能會領到 125,000 或 150,000 的年薪。

  • Especially as you get more senior in the role.

    特別是你越來越資深的話。

  • In my ideal world, I would continue working on climate change planning issues in perpetuity.

    在我的理想中,我會一直致力於氣候變遷的規劃問題。

  • There aren't always job opportunities available to support that work.

    並不總是有氣候變遷相關議題的工作機會。

  • So, I'm not sure what the future prospects are for someone working specifically as a resiliency planner.

    所以,我不確定對於環境規劃,特別是回復力規劃師的未來面向為何。

  • I think I can carry my skills set to any number of other jobs that I would also really enjoy

    我想我具備的技能也能帶到其他我同樣會非常享受的工作中,

  • as long as I'm interfacing with the public in my work

    只要我能在工作中與公眾互動。

  • I think I'll be really happy.

    我想我就會非常開心。
