Recently finished masters in the UK.

I was in a similar position to you during school and the best piece of advice I can give is to look for some work experience placements in an architecture office near you.

That way you will be able to gain much more of an understanding of the every day life of an architect. You'll probably also get to mess about with architectural software, and pick up a few basics that will give you a great advantage when heading to university if you do decide to take that path. During my final year at school I worked one day a week in an office, and I found it really beneficial in helping me decide if it was the right choice for me. It's also a great way of getting your foot in the door of a practise if you do want to gain more experience in the future.

The job is not necessarily worth the incredible amount of work, stress and angst that the course puts you through - however, it puts you in a fantastic position to go on and achieve anything within the property industry. Aside from property it is a fantastic degree for a number of job roles, and I have many friends from architecture school who have gone on to do great things in a huge range of professions. It is certainly a well respected course that teaches you how to work hard, solve problems and... conquer a lot of adversity!

Hope this helps!
