My dream job is one that gives me the freedom to explore, create, and learn new things. I want to be financially stable and free to grow and explore other areas in life that may expand my career. I also want to have time to spend with my family and be financially secure in whatever it is I choose to do. Every time I dreamed of what I’ll end up doing for the rest of my life it was creating. I do not enjoy the idea of reporting to the same space every day and working in front of a Computer screen. I love visiting new places, New sites, and getting to explore new environments. I want to be able to set my own schedule and have directive over the projects I am working on, I also want to be able to meet new people with great Intelligence and passion in whatever field I end up pursuing. Something that excites me about my dream job is working in groups and hearing the different creative ideas that everyone comes up with for the final product.
A job in the building industry that I consider to be my dream job is a Travelling Urban Planner. There is a lot that excites me from detailing for architecture to urban planning. I love detailing because I get to fully understand the inner workings of each component of the building, and how they all come together to help the overall architecture work. I also enjoy problem-solving which led me to choose Urban planning. Urban planning requires adaptability and problem solving and these are skills I have discovered that I possess.
My school career of studying architecture was not entirely my choice but I have grown to love my major and have found ways to use the skills that I have been taught in other aspects of my life. I may not have directly chosen this major but Indirectly it is a perfect fit for me. When I looked back on my early childhood years, I remember making use of boxes or other objects around the house to build homes for my dolls, very detailed ones at that. I also remember using furniture to transform our bedroom into various living spaces or school to play house/school with my siblings. I discovered my passion for art and Imagining and Physically creating what I have envisioned. I find that my Dreams adapt and change as I grow, and I am only just beginning so maybe let’s see If being an urban planner is what I desire five years from now.
Hi Ibu, reading through your post allowed me to see the passion and bravery within you. You have made the best out of your school career and know what direction you are heading. rePLACE is a great firm to look into for more inspiration for your urban planning goal.
Hey, love the way you envision your future and how you use your childhood experience to define what you really want to do for yourself. The fact that you enjoy detailing is beyond great, I feel that if you are good in it you can get really far.
Architecture wasn’t fully our choice, but we are one of the few that actually stayed in the program. Now that we are almost done, we can reflect and see how much we’ve done and why we stayed in this major.
