Career Path #Architalks

This is a post in a group series called #ArchiTalks in which a group of us architecture bloggers post about a common theme once a month. This month’s theme is “Career Path.” To see what the others had to say, check out the links below:

I am so excited to see a young(er) professional sharing a message I've said for years. Don't avoid architecture because it doesn't pay well or because it's hard. If you love it, DO it! I've been able to do other things too, but I'll be the first to admit my graphic design skills or photography skills are far from those of professionals. I still do them because I love them too, but not as much as architecture. Thus, I am an architect. Thank you and very well done and articulate.

for me you are the only person who talks sense from architecture perspective. Keep doing this.

This is really encouraging I I'm trying to figure out what I want to do I love to draw and I love machines and buildings and the way that things look

First #ArchiTalks video I've seen. Well done! You mentioned the right brain/left brain crossover, and that reminded me of something a professor said years ago: we prepare you to be creative... and to meet a deadline. A similar thing, it seems.

This is sooo cool. Reminded me of a sermon on potential and purpose.

I loved that Zidan analogy; I would say that If the main path doesn’t work, give it a head butt like Zidan did in his last World Cup game, but at least you’ll leave like the champion he was.

Wearing black? You're now a true architect

I didn’t really know what I was going into except for that I like to designing things in Minecraft and stuff so I thought architecture would be good for me since I love designing and making things and I didn’t really know how many different jobs were architecture there is

Hey Drew! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I would like to share my with you my case to know your thoughts:
I got graduated a year ago from an non- american university.
I've found that in the States are many social and communities projects that need architecture help, something that I want to work on.
The point is since I'm not licensed I'm hand tight. I am not able to collaborate.

What are you thoughts about architects who want to work in USA but cannot.

Regards!

Architect designing a drill
Step one: Well, let me call my engineer friend because I have no idea how numbers work
Step two: Go inside your room and keep painting those nice backpacks with coal
Step three: After the engineer is done you may choose a worse color for it
Step four: Receive all credits

Cidere is such a great Latin root. I would say it’s closer to cut off. Good video though

Your videos are very informative Drew! I will be graduating with my Associates degree in Drafting Technology in December and I am thinking about enrolling into the architecture program at Kennesaw State University to receive my B.Arch. I see that you attended there as well. I want to know after I graduate with the degree, do I have to work in an architectural firm as a licensed architect or can i work there unlicensed and did you intern while you attended Kennesaw State?
