My Dream Job

I graduated high school and went off to college in the fall as do many high school graduates. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I always loved drawing and took art classes in high school to further my abilities. I went to Auburn University and was accepted into their Architectural program. I chose Auburn because they are known nationwide, maybe even worldwide, for their program in Architecture. I thought this was what I wanted to do and was on my way to completing my dream. Architects make beautiful buildings and all kinds of amazing “works of art” for people to enjoy. Also some of the highest paid jobs are found in architecture and building. I figured I would be making great money, while doing something I loved.

I picked this career path because I enjoy drawing. I also enjoy designing and mapping out structures. I find both of these activities to be very peaceful and fun for me. When I was eight years old, I had the biggest set of Legos. I decided to use them all on one huge house. So I sat down, began to build and I even started mapping it out on paper. I spent nearly an entire day building this mansion and of course, when I was done, I showed my mom. When I showed it to her, she was amazed and the next sentence she spoke was one that stuck with me for years. My mom told me I should be an architect. That moment Nine years ago made me realize what I wanted to do in the future. I thought if designing buildings is a career, that’s what I’m going to do. Becoming an architect when I get out of school is a life-long goal of

In the first months of college, I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to pursue architecture, finance, or engineering; I was utterly lost, unlike many of my peers. Over the months, I pondered on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Then, I realized I was never interested in obtaining a job where I would sit at a desk and stare at some numbers on a computer screen for 9 hours every day. Through my daily routine and utilization of time, I realized I found less joy in the courses I applied least outside of the classroom, yet was intrigued that with the many hours I worked in the studio. I could work on a skill in which I could use in the career I wanted; a path in which I could leave a legacy through molding the world the way I wanted to see

Architects are licensed professionals trained in the art, and science of building design. This means the overall artistic appreciation, plus the functional look of buildings, or other structures. They design the overall aesthetic.

I have always been known to help other, even if it would cost me more than I could give, whether that’s sacrificing food or safety. Along with just wanting to be a Navy Seal, I also see myself physically prepared for my age, to become a seal. The only thing I see myself to improved is just my stamina, and my physical immunities. Such as, getting used to swimming in extremely cold environments, or running in extremely hot weather with barely any water. Now I also consider choosing an architecture, because I like the idea of designing buildings, houses, apartments, etc.. Just the idea of creating something that people will be using everyday. I also think that it would just be an amazing thought to just look up at a building. Then in the conversation just say, “yeah, I designed that”, and, just be in awe that you made something like that. Also designing buildings isn’t easy, and people pay a lot of money to have an architect design their home or business, just for the looks. Which in the long run can be pretty expensive. This is obviously why architects make so much money. That is also another reason I would like to become an architect, they pay very

Second, rumors are spread in school due to jealousy because some people want to intimidate others or they want to gain popularity. Similarly, people who jealous to other people professions can inspirit to spread rumors for their own advantage. According to the article “What Cost Charis Dussold His Dream Job?” The author explains, “one rumor had it that he was having sex with Ms.Peyla in his office” (Bartlett 351). Evidently, people started noticing the rumors, and they thought that Dussold was the only one who did this kind of stuff with someone, and people did not want to accept the truth of reality, but the situation was getting worse than it was. For example, in this article “Mr. Monaco had advised him to require every visitor to his office

For as long as I can remember I dreamed of one day becoming a very successful and accomplished engineer. During high school in Guyana, I crafted great plans. I would attend a prestigious university, gain my degree, then I would go on to be a productive, if not influential, member of society. My dreams turned into reality when the opportunity to study in the United States as an international student came before me. This time I had a solid plan. I wanted to study civil engineering with a minor in architecture and a specialization in sustainable construction. I would start out at Essex County College, then transfer to a four year university where I could complete my bachelor’s degree. I quickly completed my paperwork and was soon on my way to a world class education and to make a name for myself.

There are three major steps in becoming an architect. The first step is earning a degree the lowest of which and the lowest degree required is a bachelor's. In Kansas State a bachelor's degree is not offered. The main focus is a master’s degree that can be earned in five years. The second step is

Despite the demands, I believe that the positives outweigh the negatives and I still want to pursue this field. Mr. Barber said that thinking on the fly is one of the most difficult parts of his job that he struggles with in his day-to-day work. He also said that people skills are a very important part of this job. You need to know how to communicate efficiently and effectively, or entire projects can fall apart, which adds an immense amount of stress to the job. One last point that is challenging about becoming an architect is all the training. Most architects need 5 years of college, and must undergo a tremendous amount of after college training that is very rigorous and challenging. At first the thought of all this training scared me a little bit, but then I remembered the picture of the kids in Africa at the hospital, and that gave me the desire to continue in this dream of mine. I know that pursuing this field will be challenging, but I believe it will be worth it in the end. If I sincerely wish to pursue this field I need to come up with a plan of action. First, I would like to do some research over the summer, and hopefully find a summer course on architecture. Mr. Barber also recommended to do more shadowing. In fact, he sent me the contact info for a few firms here in town. I believe that this would give me a solid background in

My studies at Kean University will have prepared me for anything difficult in my career. When I learned there was a student book club in my school, I joined my freshman year and within that one year, I was made President my sophomore year and as of today, I am still president. Being president of a club is a lot of behind the scenes work like staying up reading to make sure there are discussion questions or topics that will carry through an hour long meeting, baking treats for students and librarians to enjoy, and making sure everyone comes back for the next meeting. Leadership is one of the traits I can honestly say I have. I always welcome a challenge that makes my brain solve problems in unexpected ways. There are so many possibilities in design that I can hardly fathom all the directions my career could go. Overall, I am open to any kind of interior design employment that could result in creating spaces with greater

"The judge has made his decision, the accused has been found guilty." These are the words that one day I will finally hear. My future goal is to be a lawyer. A lawyer is a professional person authorized to practice law. They defend or prosecute people for the crimes they have committed. (dictionary.com) I am very out spoken and believe in fighting for what I want or think is right.

Through research, I have learned what exactly architects do before starting projects, and while working on projects. A usual day for an architect usually consists in two settings: the office, or sometimes the construction site where their idea is put to life. Usually in the office, they are meeting with clients, preparing project specifications, and completing requirements and objectives for upcoming projects. They also have to know how to manage construction contracts and create scaled drawings by hand however, preparing drawings by computer design technology is more common these days with new advanced, efficient computer programs. The typical day in the office for an architect sounds nothing but ideal for me. One in five architects is self-employed, which is a significant number of self-employed architects, and architects held 107,400 jobs in 2012. It would be ideal for me to be self-employed in my future because I like to be the boss and I am very

The career that intrigues me is elementary education, which is kindergarten through 8th grade. I am engrossed in this career because I have little siblings that I had to teach them things like reading, math, and writing properly. Also, I just love, love, love little kids and to watch them grow. My personality goes with this career because I am a very kind and considerate person and I like people. My values go with this career because I like having the defiance and the opportunity to do my work in new ways and with independence and diversity. Also, I like feat which is having the feeling that what I do in my work is crucial and making a contribution. Lastly I value my workplace and having the pleasure of working in a satisfying, attractive work space where the supervisors and co-workers are supportive and friendly. I expect that being a teacher at a school will have all these conditions. Kindergarten and elementary school teachers work in public or private schools. Seeing students develop new skills and learn information can be very rewarding.
