Urban Planning

I have been researching a few different career paths and was having a look into urban planning.

Has anyone got any experience with this? I'm mid-thirties and looking to retrain, have previously been a teacher.

I've seen that there are quite a few universities offering apprenticeships but unfortunately none where I live. Has anyone done these remotely?

Failing that, a university near me is offering a Masters, but I have no experience whatsoever in urban planning so not sure how useful that would actually be.

Would be much appreciated if anyone could share their experience!
