What is a traditional job?
I went to uni to get an architecture degree, halfway I realized I won't learn anything serious so I started to work full time in 3rd year. By the time I finished uni I was doing my own designs under my supervisors, got fully independent at 32.
But I am not doing just what my traditional(?) degree was supposed to prepare me for. I am an architect designing and also building buildings while also doing design, consultation worldwide.
I have a mission to design and build healthy and durable buildings with natural materials but it took me 12 years to get where I am today and still figuring out a lot of things on my own - because as I see the world is actually favoring traditional jobs anymore.
