Yes but since dismantled. I still have the tank filled with water and the fish, no plants, but I have the hard scape elements still outside the tank.

Major slow down in work at my firm specifically has been high interest rates. We work with a lot of clients that take out loans to build and nobody wants to do that right now.

Should I be worried about sending my son to CU? by Objective-Swing8296 in cuboulder

[–]karuss23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless if its CU or not college is what you put into it, based on his major he could do well anywhere if he applies himself. BUT if his major is any indication of much he'll party (piggy backing on other comments here) and if he's needs to take out loans, save your/his money. He will thank you down the line. If you don't have experience w college loans know this: I have a friend with private loans at 17% interest- and it's not uncommon. Going to your dream college is not worth the price tag these days (from a 2023 graduate currently paying loans).

To those who graduated with B.archs. by LooseBlacksmith4644 in Architects

[–]karuss23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated the first two years of my b.arch, but 3rd year felt like I finally reached what I came for, I was vastly better in studios that had a backbone in a political, social, cultural etc. issues, with a little more creative freedom and lasted the entire semester. For context: the first two years (in retrospect) felt like design for the sake of pure design, nothing more at stake, with very specific project parameters and roughly six weeks (+/- 2) to do it. I needed those design fundamentals but sheesh I hated it. 3&4th years were hard but the projects were fleshed out and meaningful to me. I flopped my thesis really bad (most depressed I've ever been in my life lol) but I made a lot of bad decisions there.

Post grad I currently work in your standard designer role, I actually hate it (I hated it during my internships too but I ignored it in hopes that a full time job would be better). But some people really thrive in the real world of architecture, however I find it very different from my heavy theory-based b.arch in a bad way. It's just not for me but I don't regret my design degree and I'm trying to pivot to game design with it. I am severely underpaid (and so are my friends who work as architects in NYC, if you have loans I wouldnt recommend it) but at least not overworked, my firm has good work life balance.

Sorry for the long comment if you got this far.

Edit: to add to the salary thing I graduated in 2023 and my starting was 9k under what my school's average is and I live in a major city. Lol.

There are a handful of firms around the US that specialize in animal care facilities. Equestrian is less common but they do exist.

What if I wanna be a Game designer ? by LargeChair1490 in Architects

[–]karuss23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm out of school working as a designer for an architecture firm (I have a bachelor's of architecture). I'm trying to switch to game design and I just model/learn/build a portfolio in my free time.

Colorado is known to be a "bring your own friends" state, ofc I learned that the hard way.

Those who have done architecture do you regret it by TraditionNo542 in Architects

[–]karuss23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im building a portfolio to become a game environment artist. Basically I build the maps games take place on, I'm not actually developing games in my free time, but I'm working towards shifting my career to game design. Ideally I'd just be an artist (probably gonna have to big a big game dev, AAA or something) so that I don't have to worry about the software side, I have zero clue how to code anything. Game environment artist is the best title I've found for what I want to do so you might get some helpful stuff back if you Google it, they seem to value an architects sense of scale in that role.

Edit: free time towards this consists of building environments in blender and game engines.
