College

How did you get started in this field?


I have always been passionate about design and problem-solving. I pursued a degree
in architecture, where I developed technical skills and a strong understanding of
building design. Internships and hands-on projects helped me gain real-world
experience.
• What are the educational requirements for this field?
Most architects earn a professional degree in architecture (Bachelor’s or
Master’s). After completing the degree, you must complete an internship and pass
the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) to become licensed.
• What skills are beneficial to be successful in this field?
Strong design and visualization skills, proficiency in architectural software (such
as AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp), problem-solving abilities, attention to detail,
and good communication skills are all essential. Time management and the ability to
work under deadlines are also important.
• What would be a typical starting salary for someone in this field?
Entry-level architects typically earn between $50,000 and $65,000 per year,
depending on location, firm size, and experience. With more experience and
licensing, salaries can significantly increase.
• What do you like most and what do you like least about working in this field?
I love the creative aspect of designing buildings and seeing my ideas come to life.
It’s fulfilling to know that my work impacts people’s lives. However, the long
hours and tight deadlines can be challenging, and projects often go through many
revisions.
• How many years do you have to reach the level that you’re in today?
Becoming a licensed architect typically takes around 7-10 years, including
education, internship, and passing the licensing exams. Experience and continuous
learning play a big role in career advancement.
• What are the benefits of working in this field?
The ability to create beautiful and functional spaces, job variety, and
opportunities to work on exciting projects. There’s also a sense of accomplishment
in shaping cities and communities.
• What was the hardest part you had to face?
Balancing creativity with practicality can be tough. Clients, budgets, and building
codes sometimes limit design ideas. Meeting tight deadlines and managing multiple
projects at once is also demanding.
• What is the best part of working in this job?
Seeing a project go from an idea to a finished building is incredibly rewarding. I
also enjoy collaborating with different professionals like engineers, designers,
and clients.
• What led you to follow this career path?
I’ve always been fascinated by buildings, structures, and how spaces influence
human behavior. The mix of art, science, and problem-solving drew me to
architecture, and I knew it was the perfect field for me.
