Hey that is an inspiring story
As someone who went through the exact situation I truly understand this
I changed from medicine to Software Engineering
And I feel no regrets at all
I'm happy pursuing this
It is sincerely interesting
Wow, as an Arch Student at iuea, I really appreciate your honesty and I just get to realize that it needs more than just efforts. Thank you for sharing and Congrats for having found your authentic path after all.✌️
I always tell people to take engineering or architecture or medicine courses with passion but if its other options like market or trying....leave it cause it will bring much stress work
i had also received a scholarship and that’s why i stayed.
wish i was brave enough to leave as soon as I got my first thoughts about dropping out too.
Amazing presentation Patience. 🤩 Truly inspired. We appreciate you.
Answer is simple. THERE IS NO MONEY IN ARCHITECTURE.

This is really amazing
If you want to starve be an Architect
this came on the right time 😭 im a first year archi student who's about to switch to comp sci
wait did you switch and whyy?
@@blossom3129 it just wasnt for me. The studio culture, mean professors, and heavy workload stressed me out 🤷♀️ and to think it was only my first year lmao. I dreaded doing plates and the thought of doing it for 7 more years before getting a low starting salary didn't sit right w me
@@rk.r2439 i have a 2 year experience working as an architect, and i can confidently say that you made the right choice
@@chriszin94is it really that bad? I really wanna know how is it like to work after graduation
@@mirassama4604 look the starting salaries are really not worth the time you have spent getting the degree. Also there is a lot of unpaid overtime, which disrupts your work life balance, and not to mention horrible bosses sometimes who take their stress out on you. Plus, since a lot of projects take 1-3 years to complete, working for months on the same buildings got really repetitive for me. So there you go, that is my experience. Doesn't mean that you will have a similar one, and i would advise you to get the degree if you are close to finishing it, but there are always other options if the architect work life doesn't suit you.
WOW
Awesome presentation
👏🏽
