The profession has always been overworked and underpaid, and this is just worse in the current economy. I remember the days of manual drafting, before fax machines, before Fedex, when it seemed the pace of the projects was much slower. In small firms today (less than 10 employees), there is increasingly less time to produce a project and therefore much less time to train interns. It has truly become a trial by fire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685608788672533401.post-73580414180721679872010-05-14T23:03:31.715-06:002010-05-14T23:03:31.715-06:00I'm a current M.Arch student who will be grada...I'm a current M.Arch student who will be gradating in 2012. I realize that it is difficult to take on many commitments outside of school during the academic year, but if you could find the time to do something productive outside of class, what kinds of activities/work experiences would you recommend. In your opinion, what kind of background makes a recent graduate of an m.arch or b.arch program more marketable to architectural employers. I realize this depends on type of architectural office you want to work for, but if you have any general thoughts on the matter, I would love to hear them. ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
