How much do you truly use math in architecture (without going on Google or use any type of website for calculation)?

I have been very interested in houses and architecture since I was a little girl. I love observing houses with cozy and unique features. I have considered real estate, which is a fantastic career, but I will always choose architecture. I would love to know more about this profession!!

I will be majoring in astrophysics in college, but am not entirely convinced by my major selection because I think it will restrict me to fewer jobs than, for example, a physics degree. Is there really a difference in what I major in if it's related to STEM?

I'll be graduating this year and am hoping to major in something that I enjoy that could provide financial stability in the future.
