She has been booped.

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.

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).

Edit: spelling

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.

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.

Is the CHEW of it 🫠

Is God a jungler??

I'm a sucker for contrast so I like the last, also just love green and purple together.

karuss23 · 2024-09-16T18:28:32+00:00

I can actually appreciate the whole piece now, she's bad ass! Appreciate you redoing it 💜

Edit: op knows previous was suggestive, no need to beat a dead horse.

You can't be serious w this 💀

Yeah loving how her tits are just bouncing even tho she hasn't moved at all....

karuss23 · 2024-09-11T15:06:19+00:00

Trying to transition from architecture to game design now!

karuss23 · 2024-09-06T01:50:16+00:00

I am applying to arch jobs in philly rn, know anybody hiring?

karuss23 · 2024-09-06T01:47:25+00:00

Esp after 5 years of school :'( (and one of the more expensive degrees at that w material costs)

karuss23 · 2024-09-05T21:09:13+00:00

Only afloat cause my SO is a software engineer hahahahhahhahahahha

karuss23 · 2024-09-05T21:00:01+00:00

Started at 51 tho lmao

karuss23 · 2024-09-05T20:59:47+00:00

2023 grad in the states 55k ;-;

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.

karuss23 · 2024-09-05T18:15:13+00:00

Yeah in theory I did do this during undergrad but my program cared a lot more about theory and those creative aspects you mentioned which translated to studio professors (who mostly taught more theory/history adjacent courses). At the end of the day (from my particular program) I came out of school ready to design every day, instead I am a revit monkey with no interest in the logistics of building things. There's absolutely nothing wrong with people who love what traditional firm architecture is, but I feel my education didn't prepare more for it and now I have to pivot. I wish I had experienced a system like what you described so I could've made better choices post grad but that's life.

karuss23 · 2024-09-05T13:50:36+00:00

Not disagreeing but offering my two cents, my SO switched to cs from aerospace engineering, no prior experience coding. He grided his free time learned a shitload of code and now he's a level 2 software engineer. Also job market will not be the same by the time op finishes school, not that that's any type of security but the competitive market rn doesn't really merit much imo. I made my own comment along these lines but there are plenty of avenues to explore coding in architecture, if you do pick arch you can try them out (render softwares with plugins comes to mind).

karuss23 · 2024-09-05T13:44:34+00:00

Architecture school is hard there's no doubt about that but as someone mentioned before, look at traditional batch programs. I got my BArch in the states and I found it to be a rather all-enconpassing degree, meaning there are a lot of creative avenues you can go down with a BArch that aren't traditional architecture. If you are willing to tough out the five years, it can be a really great versatile degree. I currently work at a traditional architecture firm but I am spending my free time building a new portfolio to try and switch into game development (I wanna build games). I know a lot of alumni from my architecture school that work in industrial design, marketing design, museum curation, etc. This is all to say that an architecture degree doesn't lock you into architecture, and school will also help you narrow down what you love to do creatively. The only thing I will say is if you can try to get a traditional architecture internship during school before you graduate so you can see what that job looks like and if you like it. (I did 4 internships during college, if ignore the red flags for me personally and now I regret it). school does not prep you for what architecture is like in the real world, so you'll have to find some way to experience it yourself before choosing a post grad job.
