What classes should I take If I want a career in Architecture? I have another question on taking CAD classes.
Im starting college this fall semester. My plan is to eventually become an Architect, mainly structural, mostly family homes. Ive been working for my fathers construction company since I graduated HS and I noticed that he pays a lot of money to this guy that draws up floor plans, and general building plans for simple home additions, gazebos etc. using AutoCAD and hands over his plans and work over to the city to be approved by the city's engineer, then we get the OK to start constructing. Well, I want to do what that guy does!!!! Now the thing is that in my schools' architecture program they have me start off with a "Free Hand Drawing"class... and Intro to CAD/CAD systems doesnt start until my third semester..... ----What if?--- I take my general ed classes along with my Freehand drawing class. AND!! take the Intro to CAD class that way I have an understanding of using AutoCAD, which allows me to draw up simple floor and room addition plans for my dads company, which, in return, allows me to make some money while I study to become an Architect while getting my feet wet in what I'm trying to eventually dedicate my life to doing. What what you do in my scenario? Any advice given to me is much appreciated, thank you very much... this an important time in my life, and I just want to start off on te right note.Thanks!

- Regardless of what your scenario is, if I were you, I would start by not asking people in yahoo answer. I will make an appointment with an academic counselor at my college, let the counselor understand my goal, and ask for assistance. And counselor is the one you can trust. And it is a good idea that you talk with different counselors. You can also make appointment with the counselor who specializes in Architecture as well. In addition, career counselor at the career center can also be very helpful. There are many programs at college and there are various requirements. and It is best to talk with someone who understands it well enough to help you and best not to waste time here!
