Your goals?

Jefferson

What are some of your goals within your own firms, as young architects?

Currently for me it's to become licensed and progess towards becoming a project architect.

i'm 3 days away from leaving my office and starting my march. after gaining about 4 years of total office experience so far, my goal is to never return to the salary architecture job and go on my own with the few freelance clients that i have.

acfa, i feel ya on the need to combat laziness, but after a 20 work hour day last week to prepare for a meeting, i feel enititled to a little internet surfing time.

I want to win millions of dollars. That way, I could quit my job and practice in my leisure. Maybe architecture would become fun again.

Getting licenesed and then bailing out of architecture as my day job. I'll find a higher paying job and pick up freelance architectural work on the side.

I want to be part of an updated Antfarm. That's all. Oh, and just enough money to not have to worry about a house and food. And guitars. I like to own guitars.

I plan to get LEED certified by the end of this year, and start ARE testing in the summer. In the meantime I hope to get more CA/ project management experience. I really just want to have a more involved role in the projects that I work on. Im starting a new job soon, and hopefully I will be more than just a silent CAD monkey in the corner. Regardless, Im going to push hard on my registration goals.

To be more efficient in my work process.

To bring more small commercial jobs into the office.

To have a successful first experience hiring someone to draft for us as a first step towards maybe hiring a full-time employee.

But that would also depend on me accomplishing goals 1 and 2.

good luck with taking the LEED test. Only take it if you are or will be coordinating the submittals/design process for a LEED project, or you want a test run before taking the AREs, and your company is a member of usgbc or will pay for the exam. You seem to have the experience where you are coordinating with consultants - the test is not about green design but handling the certification process... best luck

i am going to columbia where i too will become a master or architecture. i will then find myself sugar daddy/jewish lawyer so that i can work on competitions all night and day. if that doesn't work out, i'll end up in a boutique where women get in for free. on the other hand, if brad pitt wants to start a practice with me, i might be willing to consider it and then dump my jewish lawyer boyfriend.

I want my entire desk and work area on a platform at least 4'-0" above everyone. Then when I'm at work I could look down upon all my lowly co-workers beneath me and laugh.

I have a deep sounding laugh prepared for that day.
