I am a 22 year old recent college grad with a degree in mathematics from a liberal arts college out of state. I post on this forum a decent amount and have always loved urban development. I'm back in the Boston area, in the midst of a job search and have no idea how to break into the field. Does anybody have any advice? I have web development experience at my previous job and am pretty much looking for any entry level opportunity.
EDIT: I apologize for the personal spam.
Hey, I'd say that's a perfect "Open Thread" kind of opening statement looking for an opening gig.

It looks like its wrapped around the vent towers, so I'd rather be living there, and know the bad stuff is being "powered up" (shot skyward) rather than being one of the many who live along the "open cut" sections where it pollution could easily cling/linger.Not to go all neddy on you, but are there air quality issues living in it?

1) Town/Regional planning, zoning, and traffic functions

Why don't you do your own research? That's inevitably going to be a major component of whatever job you will eventually get. Find out who the players are, take a look at their websites and figure out if certain companies sound like a good fit for you then apply for every job that you can interpret yourself as being remotely qualified for.
<headsmack> Standing up? Oh man, I gotta try that.Get over yourself. I wouldn't consider most members of this board to be knowledgeable on things as elementary as taking a piss standing up let alone the world of commercial real estate.

Even if northeast HSR ever gets built, I hope they continue to run some Regionals by the old Shoreline; it's the highlight of the trip.
