Unless you are fluent in Japanese, you aren't going to get into any course like that.

I can't decide which of the two I should major in.
I've always envision myself working for in a big company, and perhaps travel a lot across countries (this sounds business like, but i have no interest in business).
It seems like with the current societal emphasis on the environment, landscape architecture will ensure my a job after graduation, but architecture seems more exciting and can bring me international opportunities?
Ahh..I don't decide...can anyone with experience in either of the two fields provide me some personalized information on the two professions?

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You must ask yourself if you really like plants and the environment. Most people who become LAs are oriented toward botany and horticulture as well as design. They also must have a strong understanding of the natural world because a great deal of the new work is aimed at ecological restoration such as restoring disturbed streams or reforesting large pieces of land, a process called mitigation. More and more this job is including land and community planning, which has a big influence on how our residential world will be created for the future.

You must ask yourself if you really love buildings. Because architecture is dependent on a building and construction, this job requires very strong art, math and visualization skills. It has little to do with ecology but there is a strong emphasis on solar design and energy conservation. You will always be tied to new construction.

Today both professions require strong skills in computer aided design (CAD) systems. They are office jobs with very little client contact or real design opportunities until you are quite high in the company. Both these professions are hard hit by the economic downturn, but at least landscape architecture has a future in retrofitting water consuming landscapes with resource conservative ones. It also has the ecological projects, often funded by government and institutions which are less dependent on new construction.

Above all, you must love your work, and have the artistic talent to be competitive. And if you aren't passionate enough about the environment or about creating buildings, then it might be better to keep looking.

Im looking to do a paid summer internship next year (2007) and am currently in my second year of architecture studies with landscape(dual degree), and was wondering if anyone had more information or help on what to do and where to go? ive looked on google and its hard to pick up much information at all! cheers

Apply to all the architectural firms in the phone book of the area where you will be living during the summer. By doing that now you give firms a chance to warm to the idea even if they hadn't considered an intern before. You will probably just be doing drafting, but it is a foot in the door. Check to see if you university has a program too.

I just graduated from high school and i'm on my way to college, but i'm having a hard time choosing between these 2 courses. I like both and i see myself being good at them.

Architecture
- i like art/draw, design stuff
- my dad is a well known architect
- i wanted to be an architect since i was little
- i have more advantages than any other architecture student(because of my dad etc)
- i really like to improve our city and provincial landscape
- profession

- boring at times
- unlimited work

Information Design
- i can go to Advertising
- it has art and communication in it.
- computer stuff is needed here and i like some computer art programs/graphics stuff
- i like designing new and creative things
- really revolves around ART
- it's a new trend and it's easier to get a job here
- it can give me different job opportunities(eg. advertising employee, freelance designer etc)

- lots of competition
- i'm kind of a shy person BUT i want to improve my public relation skills.

my life=ART

In the future Architecture is going to be all about computer art programs/graphics stuff, and I would say go with Architecture because that is what you've wanted to do since you were little.
