There have been many studies done showing the relationship between what people go to school for and what they end up choosing as a career.  It seems that after looking at many of the studies it seems that about half of the people actually end up in a career that has anything to do with thier degree.\n\nI went to school for architecture but now have a successful career in the IT/Software Development world.  The same goes for my boss who has a degree in bio engineering.  I am happy with my career because I enjoy creating.  Now I am not creating physical buildings, rather virtual ones in the software realm.\n\nThere are a few things that you should remember when entering college:\n\n1. The first thing you need to start to understand is how you learn.  Now is the first time that you will be on your own.  You no longer have your parents looking over your shoulder making sure you are keeping up with your studies.  I hate to break it to you, but you will never stop studying.  In most careers you will end up studying more than in college.\n\n2. College is your time to figure out what you like.  I am heavily against freshmen declaring thier major thier first year.  You should take your time and sign up for classes in a few major areas to find what you like.  At some colleges you can audit classes for free without signing up for them.  You won't receive a grade for the class but you will see if it peaks your interest.  I would not worry about declaring your major until at least your sophmore year.  I had to declare mine as soon as I entered college because architecture is a 5 year degree starting from the time you declare.  So weigh your options.\n\n3. When you first apply for most job in the real world what you actually majored in does not weigh heavily on the list of qualifications.  Rather most companies are looking to see that you completed your degree.  When I hire for our IT group I look for someone who is a good problem solver, is able to see the big picture and knows how to evaluate what else they need to learn.  If you find a career that you really like then you can always go back for a masters in that field.  Your classes from your BS Degree will count towards most Masters programs.\n\nSorry to be so wordy, but I wish I had someone that laid it out clearly before I started college.  Just remember that the true test is that you can stick with what you set out to do.  If you can master this then you will have no problems in life after college.

I would just focus on one or the other.  Civil engineering and architechure are actualy very diffrent.  Civil (structural) engineers design the structure of the building they use alot of math and physics to determine if a structure will be able to hold the loads placed upon it.  Architects on the other hand design the layout of the building.  \n\nI think your best option would be to earn a bachelors degree in what you are most interested in and then after you have a better feel of what you will do choose what field you want to get your masters degree in.  Who knows what you will want to do then.

If you don't want to be come an architect, you could definitely try your hand at journalism by working for a home design magazine.  You'd probably have to start locally and work your way up to more "adventurous" positions.  In order to this, you would need some experience in journalism or writing.  You might want to start writing some articles and sending them to local newspapers or magazines, or start a blog about an architectural subject.  However, I've got to say that someone who uses an express like "confused on" might not have the writing skills to pursue journalism.  You may want to go back and take some lower-level English courses at community college before pursuing this career track.\n\nThese are common jobs for people with degrees in architecture:\n\nArchitect\n-Institutional\n-Commercial\n-Residential\n-Light Industrial\n-Landscape\nBuilding Construction Investigator \nBuilding Envelope Specialist \nConsultant \nCurator\nFurniture Designer\nInterior Design Specialist\nProject Manager\nPublic Works Administrator \nReal Estate Development Specialist \nRestoration Specialist\nArchitectural Preservation\nResidential Design\nStructural Investigator\nUniversity / College Professor\nUrban Design Specialist

Yes - not a lot of jobs, and the competition for the existing ones is tough. On top of that pay is not always the best, and once you go through an arch program (5-6 years), then you are still not yet an "architect", you have to work several years toward your licensing - at the right type of job (keep in mind it is competitive to get them).\nOn the other hand, if architecture is your passion - I'm sure you will find a way to make it all work out despite these things...

Generally:\n\nDrawing (by hand)\nComputer modeling/visualizing\nPhysics (statics, structures)\nHistory of Architecture\nStudio/Design Courses\nArchitectural/Building Sciences\nProfessional Practice\n\nThe numbers and types of these courses will vary with the university focus, be it design or technology or science or history. Also, most professional degree granting programs will require a basic college math course (calculus), history course, and english/writing course. \n\nArchitecture schools will give you many of the skills to get a job as an "intern architect" (you do get paid).  What is important to employers is: 1) that you are proficient in CAD; 2) that you can communicate well verbally and in writing; 3) that you understand different materials and how they are assembled in three dimensions.  The better colleges/universities will expose you to all three of these things throughout your college experience.

Learn the computer.  As a System and Network admin for my company there is only one way to get in with me.  Have a brain cell working and be confident.  Work as an intern and work for free.  Soak in all the knowledge you can.  Get 2 or 3 computers even if they are crap and network them so you can say you did it at home.  Play around with them learn and more than what the teachers are giving you.  You’re in school for computer that means you have access to pirated material learn the OS and the Server OS.  I just terminated a person who had a degree but I don't know how she got it because she did not know a thing.  I want someone is not afraid to mess up its part of the game.  Get in with help desk and work your way up the latter take chances and get with your school and see if they can help you out.  Feel free to contact me if you like. If your going to a technical school such as DeVry then they should have something for you.  If your going to a real Universaty then make sure you get your BS in computers.

depends on if you're planning on getting a higher degree. With a B.S. you can work in a lab, as a lab tech in industry, go into education and teach younger kids, etc. With a master's degree (which you usually have to pay for), you're in between because you're not the boss but don't do the grunt work. With a PhD (you usually get paid to study for this degree, at least in the US),you can have your own lab and do research, be a professor, go into industry, or basically anything.

Nothing...you can't do anything practical with your degree because it is too vague, and you don't have enough experience.  \n\nDo one of three things:\n\n1. Go to grad school\n2. Intern/Volunteer where you think you could use your degree\n3. Get a job doing something completely unrelated

For architecture schools a lot depends on your grades.  In many schools architecture is the most competitive major.  \n\nBe sure that you go to a school with a 5 year or 4+2 program.  You do not want to be "pre-architecture."  That qualifies you for nothing.  I did a 5 year program at Ball State (good program) but many schools are switching to Masters instead of Bachelors, but honestly, most firms know someone with a 5 year B-Arch is as qualified (sometimes more) then someone with a Masters, so that should not be your guide.  \n\nI agree with the above schools.  But here is my advice on finding a good school.\n\n I'd stay away from "big names."  You need to be taught by real professors in studio classes and not by grad assistants.  Where ever you go look for that.  Also look for a school that leaves the building open 24-7, closing an architecture building at 12 or 1 is a huge pain for students who have to bring drawings and stuff home to finish (all nighters are normal for architure students from year one.)  Look for a school that offers cross displinary minors worked into your cirriculum, so often architecture majors never get to take classes outside their major, pretty depressing.  Look for a school that offers classes on "sustainable" architecture.  \n\nThen get ready to work your butt off.... and have the time of your life...

You can transfer your credits onto the Bachelor program and continue with the rest of the courses necessary. Check with the university you plan to attend and give them a copy of your transcripts so they can help you understand the process.
