Question: After college how do I start a career in architecture?
Answer: Ideally, attempt to find a career-related position while in school; this will make gaining your first full-time position easier. You may work for an architect, desiger, or builder doing a variety of tasks.

Otherwise, network your way into a firm with the help of your interviewing skills and portfolio.

Most architects work for several years as interns before they become licensed.
