I believe that to a certain caliber, the best career for me is an architect. Due to many specific reasons. When I was around the age six, I had a particular interest in houses and homes, especially those that include residential and commercial. I would try to build little forts out of wood and cardboard in ditches or in forests and as I got older, I tried harder to make more unique designs and structures out of more than just wood. Eventually I tried using bricks and cement. I would make cool and sometimes funky designs that even my parents found interesting. After numerous compliments and awes of fascination, I found what was meant for my particular skills. The world of artisism and architecture. The many elements that come to play in this …show more content…

The amount of people needed to design homes and offices etc will always be needed. Whilst the factors that can influence availability for receiving a job in architecture vary greatly. Since many students go to many different colleges and universities, each will receive different grades based on different courses. A job would most likely be given to someone who graduated from UDub rather than someone from trade school, but once again it varies upon skill and mindset. Someone could also make a job more available to them by having prior training and skill from architects and firms, that teach or give tips liberally to boost their growth towards the career, making it through college much quicker than average. The growth potential for this job is quite lower than average around 4% a year. There are less people getting into the job currently than before.

Architects must follow a specific set of guidelines in order to successfully draft and design buildings for any firm or company of residence or commercial value. The vast creativity that one’s mind has, can be applied liberally in this career and gives a massive boost to those with such a trait in today’s era. It’s a career meant for those seeking an adventure in their daily life and being able to improve themselves everyday for the rest of their lives. Many questions are still unanswered to me, but some can only be answered through learning in college and becoming one myself, such as how different home buildings firms treat me, and what the best computers or technology would be most applicable for my ideas and designs. I also desire to know how the competition will be during the years of 2018-2022. The years in which I’ll be attending college. Many architects nowadays say that competition was moderate in the day, but now, especially with an increased job outlook, would be slightly different and even maybe more difficult. Pursuing architecture was always a desire in my mind ever since I was six, it brought my ideas to life in ways one could only imagine. Being in this career would be the at most greatest thing I could apply myself to at a
