This post is my contribution to an international blog series called #ArchiTalks. This month, the #ArchiTalks topic is “Back to School”, so I am encouraging my fellow small firm architects to go back to school themselves and learn what they need to know to find the work they want and live a life they’ll love. Be included.

Love the blog, Jordan Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 4:03 PM Hi Bruce, I can’t speak to the specifics as to whether or not welding is a good segue into architecture but I would think it has helped you with some three-dimensional thinking skills – and those are the hardest to develop in my opinion. Hopefully this helps in some way.

In a few short years, I evolved from being a junior architecture staff working for everyone else to a licensed architect with interns and junior staff suddenly reporting to me. In his world, I was just a cheap architecture student day laborer. The Worst Job I Ever Had – and the Most Important. Which are a dime a dozen.

Throughout the winter before graduating, I wrote over 100 cover letters and mailed them with my standard one-page resume to every architecture firm in the New York metropolitan area. There were hundreds of architecture students graduating that spring and they were all competing for the same few positions available in the region.

Once I arrived, I told the secretary that I was interested in architecture and would love to see Mr. Zeckendorf’s private office if possible. I did not say I was an architecture student, which I certainly was not. I was just a kid. I may be reaching here, but I’ll bet my father would look down in approval.

Seeds planted in architecture school bloom into a full-on virus as professionals launch their own firms and find their way to small business. At the age of 10, I chose architecture for my career path because, “Artists don’t make enough money. Architecture is a profession like law and medicine. Go Back to School.

I had many interesting conversations with architecture students while I was in Chicago. It was very interesting that many of them had similar questions to those I receive every day from the licensed architects who follow this blog. Some were concerned about finding a job. Others wanted to know about how to start their own firms.

When I first started architecture school as a freshman in college, I didn’t have the focus or maturity I needed to tackle the curriculum and I ended up having a serious identity crisis when I was 19 years old. Deciding to write this blog has in many ways become a watershed moment for me in my career.
