2. Architecture Stephen Velastegui pd 5

3. Experience I have no experience in architecture, obviously. However, I would like to start skecthing blueprints and gain knowledge in architecture mathematics.

4. Goals One goal I have in architecture is to design my own house, inside and out; meaning the plumbing, heating, electricity, along with the exterior silhouette of the house. To design my own house, I have to learn how to set up plumbing, electricity, heating, walls, flooring, etc. I will feel very accomplished if I create my own home.

5. Inspiration My inspiration to become an architect comes from my dad. My dad has managed hotels his entire life, and going to work with him, I got to se the behind-the-scenes of how certain jobs in a big building like a hotel are done. My dad was involved in a lot o property and construction management, which grabbed my attention very much.

6. Future Employment One job I would like to purse in architecture is property management. There is a lot of money in property management and that career path will teach me a lot about sales, measurements, budget, etc. More generally, I would like to be an architect. From planning a building, to blueprinting, to actually installing all of the components of a building would be an extremely fufilling experience for me. However, in architecture, you have to be very skilled. Bif I can’t be a planner as well as a builder, I would prefer to be a planner, manager of the operations. Construction managers have more steady income, as opposed to a construction worker., where the pay depends on how much of a percent you get paid for a job. But to get paid, you have to have skill and have your name out in the business to called for operations.
