I am a foreign registered architect . Finished a 5 -yr. BS Architecture (Professional) degree overseas, spent the next 10 yrs working. Took a 3- term Postprofessional- Urban Design degree here in the States:
I wanted to get employed , settle down in the U.S. for a long time but somehow anxious at my overseas education and experience.
a. Should I just take a NAAB accredited Professional M.Arch 1?
b. go look for work, start from bottom, work my way up ( take LEED, learn Grasshopper, Ecotech on the process)
c. take Further studies (Postprofessional) and specialize in Advanced Architecture?
Im asking this because I had the impression that foreign credentials, no matter how strong, are sort of at the bottom of the food chain ; and by that, maybe taking a NAAB-accredited degree will change everything.But, I dont want to break the bank as much as possible.
thanks
