Urban Planner
I review and help design subdivisions and commercial development.
There isnt a normal day of work for me. The typical things that I do every week in some fashion or another is: review subdivisions or commercial development, create maps in GIS, talk with Town residents on concerns, have meetings with current developers or future developers, research into new ordinances, meetings to discuss problems and items for the week.

I would say the most important step is to either shadow an urban planner or do an internship with a municipality in the planning department to see how exactly daily life is.
