• What types of training and education will best prepare you for the field and your particular goals within that field?
• What are at least two realistic ways of funding your education based on your personal financial circumstances? How much in student loans can you afford to take on?

The prompt is the field to be architecture as an architect at a stable firm, and no student loan debt is able to be taken on as it is not viable financially to incur the debt or the interest.

I aspire to become a licensed architect working at a reputable firm, where I can contribute to innovative design projects. To prepare for this career, I will pursue a Bachelor of Architecture degree, followed by a hands-on internship to gain practical experience. Financially, I plan to fund my education through part-time employment throughout my studies and applying for scholarships tailored for aspiring architects. Given my situation, taking on student loans isn’t viable; therefore, I seek to minimize costs by living frugally and utilizing community college courses for my foundational studies before transferring to a four-year institution. This strategy will help me graduate debt-free and focus on my architectural career.
