This month, the #ArchiTalks theme is “Then and Now” and we are all sharing how our lives in the profession differ (or not) from the lives we expected to live when we decided to pursue a career in this profession of architecture. Then and Now.

I had many interesting conversations with architecture students while I was in Chicago. It was very interesting that many of them had similar questions to those I receive every day from the licensed architects who follow this blog. Others wanted to know about how to start their own firms. What do you think?

For me personally, juggling architecture school and getting through the Architect Registration Exam, while making a living has been my biggest hurdle in becoming an architect. During college I worked for a firm for only 6 months, before I threw up my hands and quit. In his world, I was just a cheap architecture student day laborer.

I wrote something last week that basically told architecture students that they should define themselves by something other than the work they create; get a hobby or something. While I believe that to be true, I am not an architecture student and therefore believe that I can say the one thing and behave in a completely opposite manner.

I’ve been around the architectural block more times than I care to admit at this stage of my career and I have learned a few things along the way. One upside of working many jobs is that you get to experience all sorts of different project types, firm sizes, and management techniques. is a very good thing.
