Episode Synopsis "Ep. 25: What Degree do you Need to be a Planner"

In today’s episode, Gigi talks about what degree planners need. She discusses how people can become planners without necessarily having a planning degree or even a degree at all. She also dives deeper into discussing how almost any degree or profession can be tied back into the planning field. Therefore, having a degree in geography, architecture, or even culinary, can still allow you to be a planner.
