FUTURE FOR AN ARCHITECT
(1) I recently finish a B.S. on Architecture
and my graduation is on May, 2012. I have been accepted on BAC for a
Master on Architecture I will start it next fall. I have been looking, hunting
and searching for a job in an architectural firm for over a year. I have
multiple webpage where I look for job every day, I received job alerts
every day and I go to different architectural firm webpage and whenever they
post jobs that I am qualified for I apply, but they never get back to me. Now,
my question is: is there any future in Architecture??? I am asking this,
because when I finally find a job post it requires 5 to 10 years of experience.
I can see any future in this career if there is not chance to inexperience
talent when we do not have the opportunity to get experience.
(2) I currently working on an engineering
company creating BIM 3D models. The job is not bad at all, but at the end, will
this job experience creating BIM 3D models payoff to get a job or
an internship within an architectural firm? I love
architecture since I remember, but if I will not have a chance to became
license architect, is it worth to owe 100k on students loans and spend all the
time that study architecture requires? Right now I am very disappointed I
will definitively finish my M.arch, but we recently graduated architecture
students really need the opportunity within the field and not just for us
for the career itself.
(3) A career that does not get fresh air with
new talents, new ideas and new points of view, will have any future? Most of my
classmates are looking for job and just the 5% have a job in architectural
firm, 10% got a NOT pay internship. I CANNOT afford to work for free
paying gas, rent, food while I am working for free and
all Spence that will result from a M.arch.
(4) However, Architecture is the
most beautiful career I have ever seem and I DO NOT regret all the
time I have spent on it and the time I will spend on it. I will finish my
M.Arch no matter what. Even when I will be the last man standing in a death
end regarding getting experience. At the end all I am wonder: Is there any
future in Architecture???
