13.03.2024 How About a Career in Architecture? Today’s Insights and 19 Options from Indeed.com

 
Dear Students,
 
There’s something to be said for being able to look at a building and take pride in having helped to construct it, right? For those of you oriented towards the hands-on, doing so can be a very satisfying experience. Ambitious international students like you, who may have strong visual and math abilities, thoughtful planning and detail orientation skills, may well find a career in architecture to offer a solid professional foundation (apologies for the bad joke).
 
Some candidates – perhaps even you and your friends – may not be aware, in fact, that according to Indeed, there are actually 19 different career paths in the field of architecture, per the article that follows: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/types-of-architects. This specific arena itself is also projected to grow faster than average, at 5% annually, through 2032, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With a median annual wage above the national average, this route is also a good one for aspiring professionals, perhaps even you, who may be seeking to leverage your “creative” side within a professional role.
 
At this same time, our coaches are here to make sure that young professionals like you also recognize the critical importance of power skills in architecture careers, as it typically takes more than a single individual to construct an impressive building!
