<p>You may want to be thinking ahead to working in R&D or product development in whatever branch you decide on. I too thought about architecture because of an interest in home design but found it wasn’t what I thought it was. Ended up as a ChE working in composite material and process development for aerospace. Worked with a lot of MEs and did a lot of prototyping. Always something new and interesting. Some days were at a desk, some days on the floor. Another family member was a BioMedE major who worked on developing miniature roto-rooters for the arteries with some some unimaginable rpms. So many fascinating options. BTW, a friend and fellow ChE did actually design the exterior style and interior layout of her timberframe house in conjunction with an architectural firm.</p>
