Has anyone ever worked as a planner in residence for a university? I’ve noticed almost every planning program has a planner in residence now and I’m curious what that experience is like since you’re basically a professor and planner at the same time.

In my experience a lot of planners that I meet (especially those 45+) are the most boring people, with little personality. Does the general soul sucking nature of the work weed a lot of “personable” people out?

For me it’d either be transit planning, doing either service planning or multimodal or parks planning
