Okay, here’s a sarcastic blog post, stripped of special characters and emojis, following your instructions. I’ve included a short story based on the theme, which is a little bit of a self-deprecating joke about the career path:
Woke up to a M. Arch (23, unlicensed) and a job at a massive arch/engineering company for the last 3 years. My fingers were numb. The industry is *so* busy.
I should have seen it coming. Work was getting light, and the industry isn’t too busy.
I’m looking for more work, as a designer. I’m not sure what that means, but maybe it’s a chance to make a difference, a chance to help someone else.
I’m thinking of this as a 6-18 month side-quest, but I’d hate it to follow me as a career mistake. It’s like a long, winding road, and I’m tired of it.
I have a M. Arch (‘23, unlicensed) and was working at a very very large arch/engineering company for the last 3 years, but was recently laid off with a large chunk of other arch designers and engineers. Tbh, I should’ve have seen it coming— work was getting light and the industry isn’t too busy at the moment for projects of that company’s size.
While I’m looking for more work as a designer, I may have an opportunity with artistic design work that is not architecture. I think it could be fun and something to help cure my burnout, but would this hinder my appeal as an architectural designer if I decide to go back to the industry? I’m thinking of this as a 6-18 month side-quest, but I’d hate it to follow me as a career mistake.
