I want to become a engineer that specializes in buildings and the design of them as well as structural and other components. If anyone has taken this program please, share how your job prospects have turned out and how the program was overall.
I'm in the early career stage as an Arch. Tech. (2.5 years experience after graduation from technical college) and not sure how best to move forward in wage conversations with my current employer. I am the only designer/technologist in a small/medium prefab framing company.
Over the last year I have been responsible for implementing the use of a new, sector specific software, called TrueBuild. I really enjoy the prefab industry and this software, but I'm concerned that I am painting myself into a niche job market and will not have very transferable skills, should I choose to change companies. My main concern is that I learned Revit in school, but haven't touched it since and most job postings I would be applying for require decent proficiency. I do still regularly use AutoCAD, however there is no one to mentor me, so I may be developing some bad habits.
Am I in a position to leverage my growing niche skills for a higher wage with my current employer, since I am sacrificing more broadly applicable industry experience? I already feel underpaid since I am essentially the entire design team ($CAD 26/hr).
It can be in the us or internationally
I want to start a store that's sort of mix of furniture store and architectural salvage/antique store.
sells higher-end (or at least high-design) items like you may find curated on here:
https://www.instagram.com/designmilk/
and stuff like this you may find on etsy
https://www.etsy.com/listing/871352619/concrete-wall-mountedconsole-sink?ref=related-3
Almost like an in-person etsy.. my idea is there are alot of 1,000+ dollar items on etsy that people want to see and touch and smell in person,
and then traditional "architecture salvage" that I'll just accumulate like you see here
https://www.bobvila.com/articles/1120-great-places-to-buy-architectural-salvage/
and maybe even have a small cafe
anyone have experience with anything similar?
I'm in a perfect small city for this ( lots of tourists, lots of wealthy residents, lots of disposable income, lots of people that would stroll down and stuff out for their homes, etc)
Then could easily use shopify for the POS, inventory and automatically get an ecommerce site up for it.
I’m currently in my first year at UofM, taking courses for the Environmental Design Program here. Although it’s literally only been a week and a half, I’m starting to see that maybe this is not what I want. This is because I’m pretty good at math and I really enjoyed my Drafting class in high school, using AutoCAD was so much fun for me. I didn’t choose the engineering path because it just never appealed to me and it seems way more demanding at UofM. My mistake was not doing enough research and just went to UofM wanting to do architecture because I’ve always LOVED architecture, designing houses really appealed to me. But from what I can see already, the program seems to be VERY focused on art and design with little focus on the technical aspect which I thought would be 50/50. (Also a LOT OF READING AND WRITING) I’ve always struggled with creativity but despite that I’ve always wanted to be an Architect thinking I’ll develop it as the years go by. But I feel like I might not be able to keep up with the program if it’s heavy on the creative/abstract side. I think my interests better align with the technical side of buildings/structures but still belong in the Architecture field.
I’ve been reading up on the Architectural Technology Program at RRC and it honestly appeals to me much more.
I have plans to maybe transfer to RRC after this year. Can anyone who are/have been in this program give any insights to it? What’s the general path to be in this program like what’s the difference between Architectural Technology (20month diploma) & Architectural/Engineering Technology (32month diploma)? Overall, is it a pretty good program that has a good employment rate?

Good morning everyone. Yesterday was definitely wild, but I will be selling into rallies. Buying PUTS and trading them on market strength. By nature I am indeed a BULL, but I have also traded for almost 30 years! I have been thru enough and lost enough that I understand buying the dip is not an optimal strategy for me, I am better off keeping a ton of cash on hand when things go bad and pivot quickly….
I was a little shocked yesterday when I received the message from Reddit for harassment and saying I may be banned. I am very used to being banned on Reddit, it did hurt to lose the 12 million from WSB, 2 million from Investing, 2 million from Stockmarket and I have been banned 6 months off and on from Stocks 3 million. For myself I need these eyeballs, I felt to get notice….. I am not sure where I go with Reddit. It was supposed to be a 2 month experiment where my production would fall off but maybe I land a job as a money manager… In 2020 I was up 400-500% and safely is the key! I knew it wouldn’t happen again, but when AMC/GME took off I saw this as an opportunity to take me off the streets, as I was an Insurance agent trading and enrolling customers at the same time… As the year wore on I wasn’t doing anywhere near thbe 400-500% but I started to feel that it would still be ok to retire early. [I started working in 2012 a W2 when something awful happened in 2011] especially if I stopped bleeding in Connecticut rental properties, which I unfortunately still am… and I retired right before Thanksgiving 2021…. The idea was to use LEVEL 2 which is indeed the #1 most important feature for day traders. Anyone doing this 10+ years knows this for a fact…. Little did I know I was retiring into a correction and possible bear market… now, I did know that eventually we would correct but not when and not this fast….However 1 thing about this market that is indeed different is the speed. I may do a video about this, and why… Many of my generals tried to convince me that this time is different… NO I am sorry it is not! Numbers are numbers and people cheat, lie, scam….remember we are small fries and execs will sell, print shares, hide things to shaft retail. The only difference from this market and any market in the 1920s, 1980s or 90s was the speed!!! The way that people can communicate is the only difference. Remember, I did a video about why the stock market was created. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXfCEwn5fBM&t=200s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXfCEwn
... keep reading on reddit ➡I received offer the Architectural Technology program from Centennial and Sheridan college in Toronto, Canada for Winter intake, still waiting for Algonquin in Ottawa. I don't have any prior architectural knowledge. I don't know many people in the field as well, so I wonder if someone or alumni here has any experience or advise about these schools' programs (Environment, teachers, quality, employment rate, Co-Op stream, number of students in one class,...) ? Much appreciated any help. Thank you.
Hey guys so I'm trying to find a way to use my Vive to view things like remodel options for my house. I have some drafting experience and building things in 3D but what I'm looking for if something that I can load in my current house and maybe even make live changes while either I'm in VR using the controllers or to make those changes on my PC while another person is in VR so they can provide input. I know that there's places that use VR for architectural design but is there any programs out there that do what I'm looking for. The life changes is kind of the important part. I tried building in unity but the problem I have with that is building with scale I haven't figured that part out I usually make things in like blender or fusion 360 so something that I can use similar to those programs or even use those programs themselves would be wonderful.
I'm considering the idea of starting a small architectural apprenticeship program. It would be an intensive 3mo course covering all the basics and developing a portfolio and a resume to apply for a draftsmen/woman job at an architectural firm. Students will have the opportunity to work on real projects (and be compensated for their work). I have trained teams from the ground up and have connections to a network of firms and recruiters. The program would focus on low-midrise wood construction and affordable housing.
Do you think there would be interest in a program like this?
Would any other architects/BIM professionals be interested in partnering with me?
*Update for those interested.
Please PM me your info and I will add you to a mailing list with updates.
The program is for those seeking a job in the US and will be taught in imperial. I cannot provide job placement support outside of US.
The course fee has not been set. The first round of students will have a significantly reduced rate.
There are no prerequisites. Although, you must have a computer able to run Revit 2021 and a stable internet connection.
Hi, I’m starting in fall and wondering what computer I should buy. I prefer Macs but I’m wondering if it can run the computer programs required.
Do you use AutoCAD? Do you need the architecture toolset? Do you use any Adobe products? Or any others?
Would love to know so I don’t buy a laptop that can’t run the programs I need! Thank you!!!
Been thinking about adding a payment processor for a while. AXP has the sweet spot(at least according to me) P/E of 16, Plus they have higher revenue over MA and V. Is AXP a better long term play? What are the downsides vs MA and V?

Somebody installed the axp 90 and can Tell If there are turbulence noises or if the temps are really better than l9 or black ridge?
Hi y’all! Some quick background I’m 21 yo, had to drop out of college bc of financial/family situations only a month into my freshman year. Since, I’ve been working non stop and I’m thinking that I would like to to go back to school if I can. So I want to go to school for architecture/civil engineering (leaning heavy towards architecture but am very interested in both), my local university has a good 4+1 MArch program that I want to get into, but I have some hesitations. So from what I can gather reading the pinned post and through the ncarb website post graduation you need to do like 3,000+ hours of work experience before you can take your licensing exams. So I’m really curious about what these hours entail, like are they paid work just not as ‘architect’ or is it like some bs 3 yr internship. I understand they have you moving around doing different things I just don’t really understand the context of what you’re doing there. Like I said above I’m already 21 wouldn’t start school until at least 22, need to support myself and family, and don’t come from money, so I can’t put off a real paycheck for 8 years. I know that’s kind of a long post I guess any insight will help really!
TL/DR: 21 yo wants to go to school for architecture, but very very nervous abt essentially being in school and not cutting a paycheck till 30
Hello there,
I am currently a master's student studying architectural technology (from B.arch), and my field of interest is soft actuators. Through the process of developing my thesis, despite the support from my advisor, I felt that lacking a systematic understanding of math, mechanics, and circuits seriously slowed down my progress. On top of that, as I have been considering applying for a Ph.D. program to continue my research, I could hardly find any architectural technology programs featuring this concentration.
As a result, I figure that applying for a Mechanical Engineering program might be an overall better option considering both the range of selection and better career opportunities. Now I am concerned about being in a disadvantageous position regarding my technical qualifications.
I have planned out my courses accordingly so by the time of graduation I will have basic knowledge in math (Multivariable calculus & Linear Algebra), programming (Python, Java & some Matlab), solid mechanics, and circuit design, but I don't have enough time to take dynamics, fluid mechanics, differential equation, and some other courses deemed as fundamental subjects of study. Does my plan sound reasonable, or is there anything specific that I should prioritize?
On top of that, is there anything else I can do to further improve my chance of getting accepted?
Thanks in advance, and hope you all stay safe!
