Career - Architect
Career – Architect
Architects typically start by producing drawings or sketches for new buildings or for the renovation of old buildings. Often these designs include precise descriptions of the materials to be used in the construction, as well as the necessary mechanical, electrical, and structural specifications.
Architects are responsible for making sure the buildings they make are safe and conform to local by-laws. If they fail in any of these areas, they run the risk of being sued.
Architects usually work in office settings where they use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design buildings, bridges, and other structures. Some architects still work on large drafting tables, using pencils, rulers, and paper to create their designs. Architects may spend a lot of time on the phone with clients and contractors.
Working hours vary greatly. Some architects work 7 to 8 hours a day, 5 days a week; others might work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. For architects who are self-employed, hours depend on how much business they can get and on how many hours they are willing to work. In a large firm, hours depend on how much work an architect is given by senior architects.

Career Cruising Assignment
Interview
Persons Name: Ryan
Answer email correspondence from clients and consultants; assess my inbox for items of urgency and respond to certain messages right away; prioritize tasks for the day
Join a meeting already in progress, in conjunction with a product representative; meet with an interior designer and junior staff to discuss the potential use of furniture products on the personal care home project
Using Career Selector:
Career: Professional Athlete
What do people in this career do?
Athletes work and compete at many different levels. Professional athletes train for competitions or games in baseball, tennis, football, swimming, figure skating, hockey, and many other sports. Their day is usually divided between physical training (weightlifting, running, cardiovascular exercises, and so on) and practice (drills, scrimmages, and exhibition games) of their sport.
What skills do they have?
Athletes who compete at the professional level in the higher profile sports and athletic leagues have access to the highest caliber equipment for training. An athlete may use all sorts of computerized running, rowing, or cycling equipment to monitor and increase his or her level of performance. The characteristics that distinguish successful athletes from less successful ones are total commitment, the desire to win, and a determination to always raise the game to the next level.
Michael likes:
“The competitive aspect is very important to me, and since a young age I have enjoyed competing against other individuals. I also like the fans. Whether they are for you or against you, they tend to ignite extra energy that can make you play all that much harder. And finally, I like the pressure—being in situations where you have to get the job done. I find I always play better when the pressure is on
Michael dislikes:
“The first dislike would be job security. Every year there are new players trying to take your job, new coaches with new ideas, and sometimes you don’t fit into their future plans.
What are three things that you think are good about this job
The thing that attracts me most about this career is the earnings. Depending on the sport an athlete can make up to a million dollars. The lowest paying salary in the NFL is 400,000$, the highest paying salary is 23 million dollars. Another thing that interests me about this career is the possibility of a scholarship to a university. If you are a really good athlete throughout high school, you can get a scholarship to a university. If you don’t get a job as a professional athlete there are branches out from that job, including: referee, coach, personal trainer, gym teacher, and more.
What are three things that you think are bad about this job
The only thing that bothers me about this job is the risk of serious injury. Everyday on the field, whether it is football, soccer, or any sport you play, there is a high risk of injury. Another issue I have is traveling. If you go from city to city playing you have to leave your family behind.

Journal Entry 10
I worked on the website www.careercruising.com on the career path of an architect. I filled out questions that involve the career and what working conditions the job has. I also found an interview on an architect named Ryan, that talks about his working conditions, and his day to day life on the job.
