What are the different types of jobs in architecture? I think I want to become an architect but I don't know enough to make the decision.
I want to get a degree in architecture. Im not sure if architecture is the best route. I'm not sure exactly what an architect does. I like working with my hands. I like designing. I like problem solving. I was a carpenter for a year, and a mechanic before that. Im lost in the details. Drafting, designing and building all sound very appealing to me. I'm just not sure what routes and possibilities are on the path.

Is "drafter" a still-used position at engineering firms? What skills does a drafter need?
For example, if you were going to a college with vocational courses, would it make sense to try to pursue something that prepares you to become a drafter? Are engineering firms still looking for people to handle just drafting, or do they only want engineers? If they are, what are the necessary drafting programs to learn that make you more employable? #engineering #civil-engineering #drafting #computer-aided-drafting #architectural-drafting #structural-drafting #vocational-school #vocational-planning #vocationalprograms
Lost looking for careers design houses
EDUCATION I'VE COMPLETED: Western Australia Certificate of Education Governor Stirling Senior High School, 2012 ; Certificate III in Media Completed at Central TAFE, 2012; Certificate II in Music; Completed at Cyril Jackson Senior High School, 2012; Certificate III Business and Certificate III Business Admin; Completed at Polytechnic West Tafe, 2013; Bachelor of Creative Industries, Film major 6 months completed at Edith Cowan University, 2014. I started a different bachelor in 2015, it was the bachelor of Arts I was studying Japanese Major and Arts Minor but after about... 8 weeks? I dropped out due to life. So I haven't been in school since... maybe June this year and I've had A LOT of time to think about careers. SO my interest, I've always LOVED houses and design, so I thought maybe architecture but after some research I'm not sure it's for me, so then I looked into drafting and interior design. I've even looked at apprenticeships for building (so like painting ect) but I'm a (not very fit/strong) girl who can't really see herself working in/at a construction site. I'm really interested in tv shows that have anything to do with renovating or helping people find their perfect homes, which leads me to real estate. I've applied for many real estate positions and looked up studying it but again I feel like working in that field of work isn't by career goal, i'll be associated with houses but I wouldn't be able to renovate them or help design them. I'm not sure, my heads a mess so my career goal is a mess. Just wondering if there are any other paths that I haven't heard of yet? And looking for some good insight of people who work in any of these roles or similar roles. #design #real-estate #interior #building #drafting #houses
I like computer drafting and architecture. I would like a 2 year degree. Would I have a disadvantage over someone with a four or five year degree?
People are telling me a master's degree is better than an associate's. #or #someone #with #year #either #five #two #architecture #computer-aided-drafting #drafting #architecture-and-planning #architect #career
how does art benefits the not so average artist ?
I love to do art! I'm very good, but I just don't want to waste my time investing my time into something that I feel could benefit for me in the highest way possible, when it seems as if I've done so much but only moved one step. #art #illustrator #comics #drafting #drawing-skills #visual
What are some better alternatives to ITT Tech's school of drafting and design?
In the past few weeks I have had a lot of time to consider both my interest and my options. I’ve taken the time to look at local schools and programs that they offer. The first thing I’ve decided is that I want to do something that allows me to use my creativity. the thing that has caught my eye the most was itt techs school of drafting and design and the school looked great on my campus visit however when I looked online at reviews for the school and most of them were 1 star reviews and warnings to stay away from the place, calling it a scam or just a waste of money. I know that wasting 40,000 dollars on an education is a stupid idea but I can’t shake the excitement of seeing the glass cabinet full of building models wooden butterfly’s cars and the technical drawing kit that was offered as part of the program. Do you have any advice about how I could go about this without wasting my money? #design #cad #drafting #technical-drawing
