I am an international student and one of the few who majored in classical architecture. I really love and enjoyed learning traditional architecture. But after graduation, I have been struggling finding an Entry-level job in classical field. Since most firms are not H1b visa sponsor, I got only one Intern position. Now I have been looking for a full time job for over a year. My friends are even suggesting me changing major into other fields where more jobs are offered, like web or UI/UX designer. I like it, too, And maybe I would have better luck in those field. But it is just NOT easy to give up something you always loved.
Now I have been self teaching basic knowledges about user experience designing. At the same time, still holding my dream on working as an architect. I don't know what is there for me in the future. But I surely wish things would turns out better than it was.
