Architects vs. Architects at the job fair
I went to a Job fair in Virginia Beach held by Corporate Gray - Competitive Edge Services (mainly for military men and women transitioning to civilian work). No one searching for architects (surprise). Usually when I told them I was an architect, they assumed that I was a computer programmer. The all seemed a little dismayed when I said, "no, a building architect." It is kinda sad that even our title has been assumed by another field, and that is what people assume you are talking about.

A new beginning
Hi all. I hope that this will help. If you have found me here I guess you already know my name. I have earned a Bachelors of Architecture from Va Tech, but have found that now that I have a degree the job market has gone poof (I am going to destroy that can of "Poof-B-Gone"....if I ever find it).
I, unfortunately, have taken what is best described as a "non-traditional" path. I began my path in 1988 as a freshman at Virginia Tech. 20 years later I have finished my degree. Many look at me and as… Continue

Beautiful pictures, and good freehand, too! I enjoyed your photos and sketches of Barcelona (I love that city); only you need to change the title of "La pedera" to "La Pedrera" which loosely translated means "The Rocky one". La pedera reads more like "The farting one". (In Spanish rock = piedra and fart = pedo)
