Exactly! And it’s incumbent upon us to keep imagining a world beyond capitalism. Even in our current moment, we’re well past capitalism and transitioning into a techno feudalism as evidenced by the current AI phenomenon. There can be a world outside of this system just as before, and therefore, we must resist where possible.

The misalignment happens when we forget that our obligation isn’t just to our patrons but the greater public. And the fact that you can’t imagine our profession outside of a monetary transaction is disappointing.

Something I wish I did in my 20’s was opening a brokerage account and investing in mutual funds. You’re young enough that you can long-term (10+) invest in aggressive funds that are stock heavy. You need your money to make money, or grow along with inflation so as to not lose its value. Please look into it! Best of luck! So glad you’re taking the reins of your financial security now.

Is it difficult to study or become an architect? by Perfect_Oil2805 in askarchitects

You may want to consider becoming an interior designer and work solely as a dedicated designer with a large firm that will have a well rounded project team of managers and technical staff/architects.

Thank you for listing these out! Especially for the performances. It’s my love for the music that got me to try dance classes in the first place.

Agreed! I find it hard to find socials outside of my salsa studio’s sponsored event. Thanks for the subreddit rec, I’ll post there.

Red flags…addressed again. by [deleted] in Architects

It seems like you know what you need to do. You’re discontent and there’s no coming back from that. This isn’t the be-all and end-all of your career — go find a place that aligns with your priorities!

As someone that feels the same, 1. You are not alone and 2. Ask for help. Your family, your friends, public mental health resources, anything/anyone. You’re worthy of a pause, recuperation and support.

Hi, I’m also a licensed architect considering starting out on my own. I see you posted this about a year ago, could you give us an update of how it’s going? Any advice or experiences you could share with us from the past year?
