<p>Thanks to Cheers’ advice, my son worked for a contractor last summer. He worked hard and learned much. Cheers, Rick12, and other practicing and aspiring architects: thanks so much for all your advice on this forum that is much appreciated by my family and many of of us at CC.</p>
<p>We know it’s early, but we’re already looking to next summer. For the coming summer, my DS is seeking a different experience. He’ll likely opt to spend the summer at home and work in Greater Boston to save on living expenses. During this year, his freshman year as an architecture student, he will have completed a full year of design studio and many other architecture-related courses. </p>
<p>DS appreciated Cheers’ suggestion to find work related to architectural modeling, but the suggested firm was too far from home to be feasible. Calling Cheers, Rick12, and other CC posters: Suggestions of other modeling firms to contact or other experiences to look into? When is the best time to begin looking? Over winter intercession? Thanks in advance for your help!</p>
