You could say as a child, I had many dream careers I wanted to purse. One being to play basketball in NBA. It wasn’t until middle school; I developed a talent in drawing and love for art. I didn’t enjoy writing, so I found a way to project my ideas by illustrating them on paper. Even though I enjoyed playing basketball it seemed to be something I always done for fun and that I could do more. Growing up I didn’t expect architecture to become an interest until senior year high school. My high school specialized in architecture and engineering. I was introduced to architectural projects and programs such as Autocad and Revit, which piqued my interest. I was amazed at with how our ideas developed into a finished project. Once in college I learned more about architecture and how broad it its.
I really don’t know what I want my dream career to be. But if I was to choose right now it would be between interior design or being a project manager. Even though I don’t have much experience in both it’s been an interest of mine ever since I started college. I would like to use what I learn about interior design and construction to apply that knowledge in the field. My creativity and design ideas would be displayed in my future projects. Finishing college with my bachelor’s degree currently is my top priority. Also, I would like to apply for internships to gain more experience so that when I graduate, I can find a job or position at a firm. To me my dream career is something that I will enjoy waking up to every day.
I think like many of us can relate on we all had multiple choices of dream careers growing up. And I’m glad that you attended a similar school like mine to make this discovery of this career.
Waking up with anticipation of your work is one of life’s pleasures. I’m glad you found it. It can be difficult getting started; don’t get discouraged.
Glad you found architecture specifically interior designing as your dream career. Other architect students also would like to pursue this career as well. I think that some of us knew we wanted to do architecture from the start because we were introduced to it early or had experience. For you everything is working out so far and hopefully we can all get through the obstacles and achieve our goals
