I was thinking about at what point you start looking for meaningful employment with studios. This is premature as I haven't even started yet, but thought it might make a decent conversation topic.
My initial idea was: Bare in mind I am starting a 6 year AT degree.
Year 1 - Ask if they have vancanies to walk their dogs.
Year 2 - Ask if you might be able to make the coffees.
Year 3 - Maybe they might let you hold a tape measure.
Year 4 - Admin work.
Year 5 - CAD work AND Coffee maker.
Year 6 - Less than underpaid monkey until you prove yourself able to make tea.
At what point in your studies do you start maybe inquiring for a little vacancy?
I worked 25hrs per week in undergrad and eventually worked part time in a small office between my design studios. All this while balancing family, social, and typical wicked heavy school loads.
Apply as soon as you think you know your way around building design and detailing. Don't go in thinking you'll only do paper work and definitively never take an unpaid internship, ever.

Thank you.
In the US most programs allow enough time to take a crap one a week. Holidays are spent in a coma, hooked up to life support.
*In most programs...
FTFY
