As a graduating senior, I can see your dilemma.
At first I was so sure about what I wanted. Well, a few weeks of no-sleep, critiques and model-making later, I realized that maybe I should try something else. I was pursuing an Architecture degree. Now I am pursuing an engineering degree. Well, a few internships later, I now think I can have both. I plan to go no and get a master's in Arch. and pursue registration as a Prof. Engineer.
I just really couldn't make up my mind, and I am very marketable as an engineer and architect for one price.
I suggest you pursue what your heart aches for. But also, be aware and vigilant. I took the time to evaluate the job market in my industry and area (which is notoriously unpredictable) and wagered how a balance of school and work will keep me in pace with any changes so that I never find myself with great skills that nobody wants.
I gotta congratulate JJSP01 because it seems like she really did some thinking, and was aware of what skills would be beneficial. Good Job!
Certainly, candygirl, do not be discouraged just because you are not on the "doctor-track" or "lawyer-track", not all paths are certain. But if you do what feels right for you, you really can’t go wrong.
