I am an urban planning major in college. Does anyone have any suggestion on whether should peruse a masters in urban planning, a masters in landscape architecture, or a dual degree program (MURP and MLA)?

The urban planning degree will give you more job prospects. You might be able to take some courses in the landscape architecture side, or maybe get a certification (fewer classes).

i think you should minor in business because it will definitely help you promote an increase the profit and function of your agricultural career

I am considering Landscape Architecture, also Urban Planning. I know money isn't everything, but which career would allow me to make more money. Assume I will have a Master's degree. Thank you.

Architecture makes about 59,699 dollars a year

Mathmetic abilitly, Drawing, and computer skills are required

I made my mind to buy Canon. But what is the real difference between the EOS 400D and the EOS 30D?? I shoot a lot of landscapes, urban architecture, some portraits and a bit of macro both in B&W and colours.

I'd get the 400D.
The 400D provides a fantastic 10 megapixel sensor in a cheap body. The cameras feels tiny and fragile, and a lot of the controls are tucked away in menus, but it does take magnificent pictures. It also has the same auto-focus system as the more expensive 30D.
The 30D is an 8 megapixel semi-pro camera. It has a metal body vs. plastic, it shoots 5 frames per second vs. 3, it has a deeper buffer for continuous shooting, it has a shutter rated to last 100,000 actuations vs. 50,000, it has buttons & switches to change settings on the fly, the ISO goes up to 3200 vs 1600, and for most uses it's a better camera. The higher price is entirely justified.
The thing is, you don't really need any of those extras. If you're serious about landscape/ architecture/ portrait/ macro photography, you'll be using a tripod 90% of the time. You have all the time in the world to change camera settings, you won't need 5 frames per second, you won't bang your camera into walls, you won't need ISO 3200... you won't need a lot of the extras that the 30D offers. All you need is a great sensor.
In terms of image quality, and at normal ISO settings, the 400D and 30D are equal. And since the 400D has more resolution, in this case the cheaper camera is the better choice. So get the 400D and spend the price difference on lenses.
You'll want a selection of lenses to cover a range from 10mm to about 60mm. (effectively 16-100mm after the 1.6 focal length multiplier) The Canon 10-22mm is a great lens for landscapes and architecture. The Sigma 10-20mm, Tokina 12-24mm, and Tamron 11-18mm are cheaper alternatives. Then add something like a 60mm macro for... well, macro photography and portraits, and perhaps add a cheap standard zoom for a walk around lens.

ADDED:
James, I just popped back to see what the new response was, and I'm intrigued by your comment that the 30D's sensor is 'quicker and more accurate'. True, at stratospheric ISO levels the 400D's smaller photosites result in more noise. This is why Canon limits the 400D to ISO 1600. But how is the 30D's sensor better from ISO 100 to 400? This is contrary to everything I've read about both models in various reviews, image samples I've seen, and feedback in user forums at places like dpreview.com
I don't have any interest in plugging the 400D... or any Canon, for that matter. I personally use a Nikon D200. I'm just curious if you can elaborate.
