Architectural Jobs

By Andrew Wyne

I’m sure you have been hearing that the economy is
not the best right now and as a result of that there have been layoffs in many
architecture firms. Even though you are one of those hard workers that would
normally be able to get a job in any firm the economy just might be the one
thing that keeps you from getting a job. What if there was a way you wouldn’t
have to worry about getting a job at a firm or where your next pay check came
from.


Well there are some different opportunities out there these days. One is where firms have been joining together to gain more projects and have joined across the globe from the USA to England to China. Now if that doesn’t suit you and you would rather not get lost in the middle of a giant firm; and after a few years of working in a smaller firm (who just laid you off) you can always start your own business. If there is one thing that architecture has taught us it would be this: that we are problem solvers and we know how to create.

There has been a growth of people who were former architects and designers who
have come up with their own jobs that they can do. Since being laid off they
are able to not only be their own boss but do stuff they love. An article I
read gave some very interesting examples of men and woman who have created jobs
that do and don’t relate to architecture, again its things they love to do and
they are making good money at it. So if you happen to find yourself without a
job, do not lose hope. There are options out there, whether you have to create
them or not. Read the link below for more info on the architects and designers
who are making it in slightly different fields of work.
