For most firms, getting Catia is like buying a Ferrari and then driving on 35mph roads with it… overkill for their needs. A lot of firms are switching to the lower end parametric software though: ArchiCAD, Revit, or even just trying to make fuller use of Architectural Desktop. They’re finally seeing what a waste of time it is to have one person doing construction documents and another person doing presentation modeling, and one is always trying desperately to keep up with the other, one is always just a little behind the design.

I will have to agree about the brand name internship thing… if I hear my boss mention his time with I.M. Pei one more time, I think I’m going to scream!

If mentioning to a clerk that you didn’t even know that you were looking for work and getting a $2m job out of it isn’t luck, then I don’t know what is!
