nerd855, i think you should post in the general forum. Your question is more about finding what you really want out of your undergrad degree. You’re studying architecture but do not want to follow the traditional career path. I really don’t have an answer for you. It seems to me that you’re thinking about your arch degree as a training to learn a skill. I think that an undergraduate degree should have a more broader objective than just to acquire a skill to get a job. At least in theory, an undergraduate degree should be an opportunity for intellectual and personal growth, critical thinking engagement, an opportunity to learn how to learn, etc. all these abstract things that do not directly provide a tangile skill in the job market. You need to think what do you really want, like, enjoy. Good luck to you. You’re young and have plenty of time to figure things out.
