This essay is about choosing Architecture as a career.

People need places to live, work, play, learn, worship, meet, govern, shop, and eat. Architects, which transform these needs into concepts and then develop the concepts into building images and plans that can be constructed by others, are licensed professionals trained in the art and science of building design.

The type of education that will prepare me for a job in architecture is a Professional Degree in Architecture, which must come from one of the 111 schools of architecture with degree programs accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board "NAAB". I will also need to attend and achieve a five-year Bachelor of Architecture programs intended for students, like myself, entering from high school or with no previous architectural training. In addition to that, a number of schools offer a two-year Master of Architecture program for students with a professional undergraduate degree in architecture or a related area, or a three to four-year Master of Architecture program for students with a degree in another discipline.
