I will graduate from architecture school this summer, but I'm really unmotivated, I'm hating it, and I cannot wait for it to be over, I can't see myself as an architect at all but I still really love this field and respect it, but not as much as when I first started it. It was a dream come true. I feel really lost and I don't know what to do, I can't see my self in it or in any other field. This feeling is so depressing

Watch the video but here are the bullet points :
- UiUX Design
- Animation

Additional Points perhaps?

Feel free to suggest more..cuz I have honestly considered changing career at one point of my life. It may help others to not give up on themselves.

Spent 10+ years in architecture, had gut feeling when I was in architecture school that it wasn’t for me but I soldiered on to finish up my career. Graduated 2008 (great year btw) had no job, finally got an architecture job, had all my AXP hours, been working for the same firm 5 years, that same feeling I had from college emerged again. I always had a gut feeling that architecture wasn’t for me. I feel stuck.

This is great, i have finished my masters late last year in Architecture and have been looking into alternative as my passion dwindled. Thanks it's refreshing to see the alternatives.

[EthnieXu]

Love the way you explained this! This is very helpful for students like us who are wondering through this path!✨

[donzadonz]

This was a great list of alternatives as i will be done with my degree by may and i have no interest in being an architect, but at the same time i can't decide what i want to do next, i am interested in industrial design as well as 3d modelling for games and animation but i am not sure what the best way to transition into these career paths are.

So the UI goes to game quality design, the data analyze goes to data mapping visualization, the GIS goes to traffic design, and the architecture is still useful, never could get out of its exploration!

i really was in need to watch this thank you !

[javierpacheco]

The way architecture is being built today feels wrong to me. Sometimes I wanna become an architect Sometimes I don't becuase there is no character in architecture no more.

As far as I know, UX has been a very popular choice, I know at least five landscape/architectural designers transferred to UX. Some of them took UX bootcamp, some of them went to take an HCI master's degree. Two of the main benefits from the UX industry are good payment (or more reasonable pay based on your workload) and a better work-life balance.

This video popped up when I’m 1.5 semesters away from graduating from architecture in NUS. Haha! It’s a sign maybe...

[TheSuperpinkstar]

I'm in my final year of interior archi and I'm thinking of switching to ui / ux design once I graduate

[dinahkamilah]

Thankyou so much..🙏 i've been desperate since these days actually quite hard to get a job 😭

[seskiaravivekahani]

I'm a final year student and already have a thought to switch career since i lost my passion in architecture.

[earlofunicorns]

Atm im tring get more into 3D animation 😬 wish me luck 🥺

[hridaiprakashsaikia]

Is architecture realy a good course ? Iam very confused about it ?

[niraj]

In my opinion if you are desatisfied which many architects would, you shouldnt consider any art and drsign carreer. They are all same.
