Careers: Architects

Dynamic Architecture

I remember being a young high school student trying to figure out what I wanted to be for the rest of my life. I'd read a novel called Doctors that detailed the life of a group of friends going through medical school and going on to become doctors. I found myself caught up in the drama of their lives and the excitement (the kind that is usually reserved for blockbuster movies) of their future. It was decided. I was going to become a doctor.

I studied hard, lost myself along the way and didn't get the grades necessary for medical school. It took many years after that to figure out what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. I dabbled in acting, music, computer science, botany and even for a while considered being a teacher! My character and personality does not support the patience required to pass on information to youngsters, so that was a major stress for me.

We spend most of our lives working towards being something and then find that in the middle of it, this is not what we really wanted, or not quite what we hoped it would be. It is important not to allow yourself to be caught up in staying stable with a job you hate and allow yourself to take the risk and explore something you always really wanted to do.
