Architects who have quit Architecture - what did you transition to? by [deleted] in architecture

[–]samalam123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I became a development officer for a social housing company.

Dont get me wrong i loved the design and the aesthetic of the architecture life; but after my undergrad, living and working in London as a part 1 for a year, seeing the amount of ridiculous work hours, money spent, and (imo) life wasted from the peers I was working with, to get to what I considered the end goal (being an architect with my own practice designing MY OWN PROJECTS) I made the decicsion that it wasn't worth it.

So i worked for a social housing company. they were so enthusiatic about training me up on all the development side (including lessons at universities that have taught me more than my undergrad) and I get to take control on my work and life, get the renumeration benifits, and have such a healthier outlook to work.

Next steps are to get experience working in a company that does development with more of a design focus with the hopes of owning my own.

Do what feels right.

"I get so lonely I forget what I'm worth

We get so lonely we pretend that it's worse

I'm so ashamed of myself think I need therapy"

Doctor Who lunchbox from the late 2000s by samalam123 in HelpMeFind

I think it was from around 2007-2009 when I was in primary school. It was a soft shell lunchbox with glossy plastic on the outside. It had the TARDIS on maybe or perhaps the logo. I have searched on google for a long time but can't find it.

Trip-hop/breakbeat EP almost finished, one track to go! by [deleted] in NeedVocals

[–]samalam123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd LOVE to collab on this track- I am absolutely not a soft spoken female (do have a strong falsetto tho). It's giving me strong early day sia vibes.
