I still want to be an architect...very much. I am back to the drawing board. Looking at my original sketches. I am being inspired by the young protagonist, the anxious, the crazy, the kid who was going to change the world.
I am beginning to believe again.

I feel the same way, Its only been 2 yrs since Undergrad and i've already felt the verve slipping away from me
Occaisionaly I want to be a real estate agent. they get 5% of the assessed value of the house AND land. They don't have to babysit clients, deal with crappy contractors and disasters on site for months, deal with planning officers and the like, spen their weekends traipsing through mud with surveyors to ensure that a special tree is saved on site etc. etc. etc. Oh no not them. They get to put a picture of the fruits of our labour in their window, put the 'effort' into driving potential clients to view in air condioned cars, and thats it. bingo. 5%.
Seeing as the assessed value is way more than the construction cost we base our percentage on, and their commision includes the land to boot, Estate Agents have it sorted. (And they don't have to deal with clients trying to negotiate the fee down. Yuh want to use my estate agency? o.k. 5%, thanks)
It gives me hope when I realise that there are so many others who find themselves stumbling with the same dilemma and not being sure about where to go next, even second guessing yourself. I lose faith in and sight of my goals so often. Thank you for putting this into words. I needed to hear that, I should believe...
