The art or practice of designing and constructing buildings.

 They design buildings making sure the building will not collapse and will be structurally sound, be able to hold a designated weight. Architects are also always attempting to come up the next new-big design that will fit into the modern world and still take the next step in evolution.

 They also try to find the most inexpensive design and materials to build the building with, while attempting to find a way to make the most money off of it after its built.

 Engineers are needed all around the world! Some work close to home, others halfway across the world. Some work indoors designing the blueprints, others go out and gather materials or build the actual structures. ( such as bridges, buildings, historical landmarks, etc.)

 Architecture is a very general job category in engineering. Some of the more specialized fields would be technological, field work, 3D rendering, drafting, management, maintenance etc. There are many jobs in the architecture field and you need every single one of them to successfully get the job done.

 Better internship locations Been more strict about who he worked for Better geographic location

 GET EXPIRIENCE! In both the field and the office Get prepared for the situations you will have to deal with Work hard, put yourself in a good place
