Does Green Architecture Have a good job Outlook?
I am studying to be a green architect. it is where you design buildings to be carbon neutral. Do you think there is a big job outlook? Do you know anyone with that job?

- First of all, the best if you do a job that you really like and committed. I think "Green Architecture" is a very good candidate for this. More, I think there is and will be a growing market for such buildings, not only for economical reasons but more and more people start to think green, and they willing to invest in some more money (sometimes of course you needn't) to achieve low or zero carbon footprint. So I think you are on the right track.
- Since it is the newest trend, there are going to be firms looking for people familiar with the techniques, the technologies and be comfortable designing with them. If they have a spec that calls for a Trombe Wall- something that gets people looking at you as if you sprouted a third arm from your forehead in casual conversation, yet is a very useful thing to have for a passive system. So yes- if you align your classes to get a very good understanding of the principles, you will be able to find employment somewhere. If you add in some math and physics over an above the requirements, so much the better. Some thermodynamics classes will help too.
