Hello all, I’ve gotten some emails about post in this thread.  I’m sorry to inform you guys but I decided to not major in LA, I’ve decided to major in Interactive design & media.  I however do have a friend whom has just graduated from the LA program at my school.

I don’t think I ever posted my work from high school, it’s more architecture st…[Read more]

Thanks I wanted to work on learning some stuff over the summer before I go to college.  I’ve taken courses at my high school for Illustrator and Photoshop.  Like I’ve said I’ve taken 3 years of Autocad and I’m pretty good at that, I’m just getting into revit I’ve only completed a simple but detailed house.  My fathers a landscaper with his own bu…[Read more]

Well I applied to Philadelphia university, Temple, and Penn state main.  Philadelphia was my favorite and that’s the one I chose.  I didn’t even complete my application for temple because they lost my transcripts in my mail twice so I just said screw it because at that point I had already gotten accepted into Philadelphia.  Penn state main ca…[Read more]

To be honest I don’t know what they are, I’ll look them up but usually I like working with requirements and restrictions because it’s more of a challenge.  In my CAD classes we had to design houses with restrictions but some some kids asked if they could just design what they wanted and my teacher let them.  Those kids generally designed 8,000 sq…[Read more]

Yah my mom who’s a nurse said the job market goes up and down, first their was a overflow and nurses then they didn’t have enough nurses, back to overflow and then they need nursing instructors. So I’m hoping I can stay with this major and have good security and a decent amount of pay.  I just haven’t heard that many LAs say good things about how…[Read more]
