Why would an office hire you when there are plenty of fresh grads available? You can have all the ambition in the world but that won't count for much if you can't help design and detail buildings at an above layman level.

Quick question, how did you become an associate at a design firm without any design knowledge?

Learn revit or cad or whatever and spend a couple of years as a cad monkey.  It's what you'll be doing when you get out of school, anyway.

I’d say fresh grads are about at the layman level. She’d probably be more realistic and down to earth than any arch student and if her uncle or something was a contractor she’d know more about construction than most arch grads. For OP, learn CAD/Revit and your above any arch grad already.

hey, tado ando went from driving trucks to renown architect so..... i
dont see any reason why you cant go from psych major to architecture.
the thing is you will definitely start at the bottom, but if you keep
the positive can do attitude you will weather that storm and be on your
way. I personally would put sketchup and photoshop on back burner and
learn cad and revit. Although we all are in production, (producing
clients, sketches, designs, cd's, spec's, etc..) at your level of
experience, you will be expected to be in the production trenches of
picking up redlines, drafting, other menial task 8-10hr's a day for about 2-3yrs until you prove yourself and move up the food chain.

I switched into architecture from another major after my first year in college.  During the summer between 1st and 2nd year in college, I took 2 summer sessions of AutoCAD at my local community college for really cheap.  The good thing about a community college for this kind of course is that the classes are typically taught by a local draftsman instead of licensed architects.  And who better to learn drafting from than a dedicated draftsman?!  I was by no means an expert, but I learned enough that it put me on a better footing than a lot of my first year classmates who had never used any kind of drafting software and tried to avoid AutoCAD like the plague until it was forced on them during 3rd year when it became mandatory for studio.

You could also try looking for a marketing position (in lieu of administrative) as it would probably pay better, and allow you to begin networking.

Who cares about software. Anyone can learn it in a simple weekend crash course. Learn how to draw and think in terms of construction methods, materials, scale, etc. Take a few local college art classes and whatnot if you need to.

Plenty of architects go the m.arch route. As you are still an undergrad you won't be losing much time starting at the bottom as you would be doing that in any field. Apply for contract or part time positions between undergrad and grad, parlay any skills you picked up from gsd and the previous job into your next role. Talk up any hybrid marketing or proposal writing skills you may have. Tons of places are hiring right now, be persistent in the job hunt and avoid being picky about what sort of firm you're willing to work at as you'll be learning a lot regardless of the genre so long as it's architecture. Tap any and all contacts made in the field. Someone always knows someone especially in the bigger cities.
