I have my AA in architecture and wanted to pursue the other for working experience to obtain licensure. I’ve found It very difficult to land a job and therefor gain experience. Im finishing up my last classes now to apply for my Masters in architecture and if all goes well I’d have my masters degree in architecture by the time I’m 32-33 years old (29 now). My question is to anyone in the field, anything you think I should study or try to learn on my own time while in school to be more valuable

On my experience as an architect for 35 years, makes more sense to get the experience first; get up to speed with the technology and start working asap, if you already are proficient in revit/BIM; then get familiar with IPD… and construction methods… you masters could come after couple of years of working , since in very seldom ocasiones means anything to improve adds in getting a Job

There are some great online tutorials available. Look into BIM classes on LinkedIn learning, Productivity Now and Revit Pure. There's a mix of free and paying classes. There's also some great stuff on YouTube if you know what to search for.

I would recommend improving your drafting skills and most importantly your 3D modeling and get advanced learning about Building Information Modeling (BIM) and will open the door for you for a lot of opportunities. Always update your portfolio, try to take some freelance work or do work on your own to show case your abilities. Supplement your skills by strong visualization and rendering abilities. Utilize LinkedIn learning for now as it's free for students. Best of luck 👍🏽

Thank you. I’m currently trying to learn BIM and Dynamo for revit but I struggle to learn It currently. It’s like learning a new language for me but I know that if I obtain those skills It will help a lot. My 3D modeling is improving as I practice daily. But not much practice with BIM as it’s hard to learn that from videos for me currently
