Below is an article that recently appeared in Architect's Newspaper on the topic of the careers that architectural graduates can pursue.
I was contacted for the article and was quoted as shown in the excerpt below.
...
According to a report from the National Architectural Accrediting Board,
6,191 people graduated from accredited programs in 2010-2011 academic
year (and about half of those will go on to become licensed architects).
“If we look at pure labor statistics we should shut down half the
schools,” said Lee W. Waldrep, Ph.D., assistant director in the School of
Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne. Instead,
he suggests that students trained as architects are also suited for
communication, collaboration, research, and creative problem solving.
This can open the door to careers in planning, project management,
computer design, development, fashion design, photography, humanitarian
development, furniture design, film, and many more. “Design is
everywhere,” as he put it.
