Architect

Hello dear internodes! My name is Alexander, but everyone calls me Alex, which I do prefer too. I am only 27 years old and I am presently working in the architecture department. It has only been 2 years since I work in one of California’s greatest architecture agencies. I am quite proud of myself due to the fact that the Cali Architect Design & Co has asked me to work for them. With this, evidently, I had to move from Iowa to California. Yet, I do not really mind, for I work in something I am passionate at. It is really simple, I have always liked drawing and the construction and design of houses/buildings as well as it has always fascinated me. That is why it is my dream job. Also, since I was 12 years old, I drew dream houses in my spare time.

Enough talking about me. Let’s talk about the job. Well before becoming an architect, you have to go to school evidently. After high school and college, you have the choice to go do your bachelor of architecture or your master of agriculture, which I have completed my master. It took me 5 years to complete my master. So, for some advice, if you want to become an architect, consider it takes a lot of time before becoming one, so make sure it is what you really want to do. Also the fact that it is expensive. To continue, I dedicated my entire time for my studies. I had no time for parties or whatsoever. Yet, it did not affect me one bit, I was fairly content to say. Anyways, just to let you know, for me to have succeeded, I had to be extremely good in math and physics. This mean I had to be number smart. Still now, I also have to be people smart, due to the fact that I interact and work with others, for instance constructors. In addition, as an architect, I have to gain skills such as mathematical skills eventually, reasoning skills, artistic skills as well as creative skills.

Today, it has been an ordinary day like others. This morning, I finished one project which I am extremely proud of. It was a really long and pressuring project, however, with my team, we managed to work through it. After completing few paper works and signing, I met with my new clients and signed a contract to build their house. They were really nice individuals and I am looking forward to continue working on their house. So today we met to know what they wanted in general and showed me plans of their house plot, where they want to build their house. Tomorrow, I will meet them again, though to discus about preferences of what their house will look, etc. Also, this afternoon, I continued working on another contract I had. Though this project I am doing it with other architects because it is a long term project which will last few years.   

To conclude, you have seen a little bit of what I am doing as an architect and I hope it has interested you.
