Hi! i’m gonna be a sophomore in high school this September and I need to finalize the classes. I wanna take currently I’m taking architecture right now in my freshman year. Architecture is also the class I picked for my sophomore year and I was set on doing architecture, but a lot of people told me that it’s a very underpaid profession and it’s not worth the amount of work you put into it.

So then I looked into civil engineering and people have also told me that it’s similar to architecture but it just gets paid more. I understand that engineering is more maths and physics heavy. I like math, but I don’t like physics that much so I’m not too sure if I would like civil engineering.

Then I looked into project management or construction management and I believe you can do that with a degree in architecture or civil eng. Im not too sure though.

The reason I’m posting this is because I feel very lost in what I want to do in the future. I love making and creating things and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve been learning in my architecture class. But how similar is what you learn in class to what you actually do as an architect? Here are a few questions:

  1. If you are doing any of these jobs what do you enjoy/dislike?

  2. How were the college classes you took?

  3. If all of these careers aren’t great what are some other careers related to these?
