Career Research Body Paragraph
After entering society, each of us will have the confusion of choosing a
career, we don't know which career is best for us. If a young man has nothing
to do and has no proper occupation, his life will be worthless. If a person
chooses a career that suits his own development, he can make continuous
progress at work, can learn knowledge and skills from it, and has a promising
future, then this career is a good career. Architects have existed for many
centuries, and the profession of architects has always existed since ancient
times. This means that architects have been in demand since ancient times, and
many buildings are inseparable from architects, such as the world-famous
Egyptian pyramids, The Statue of Liberty in the United States, and the Eiffel
Tower in France. In the article, “The 15 Most Famous Buildings in the World”,
“Leaving a mark into the world long after their builders are gone, buildings that
have stood the passing of the centuries keep on fascinating our minds.” This
quote saying these all need to be completed by architects, Architects are very
important to architecture. Without them, these possible buildings may not exist
Lei 2
for that long, or disappear from our consciousness very early. Now that you see
these famous buildings still exist, you can find the architect’s work and be
surprised by it. According to the article "The Employment Market for
American Architects", "There are currently an estimated 128,800 architects in
the United States. It is estimated that between 2016 and 2026 During the
period, the architect job market will grow by 4.2%.” this quote supports my
topic sentence is the demand for architects will increase, so more jobs will be
created, employment of architects is projected to grow 1 percent over the next
ten years, slower than the average for all occupations, architects are expected to
be needed to make plans and designs for the construction and renovation of
homes, schools, healthcare facilities, and other structures, particularly in the
area of sustainable design. Becoming an architect also requires a lot of
knowledge. You need to complete the architect's course and pass the exam in
order to be a qualified architect. Article “Architect’s Occupation, Salary and
Education Information”, “Most architects have passed 5 years. Of Bachelor’s
degree in architecture. Many people have a master’s degree in architecture,
which may take an additional 1-5 years." Many buildings require architects.
Without an architect, many buildings will become weak. Architects will design
and build according to the actual situation to make buildings more reasonable
and usable. This is the role of architects. According to the article,
“Architectural design education: in varietate unitas”, “Hector Guimard used the
Lei 3
shapes of flowers in his designs for entrances to the metro stations in Paris.
Eero Saarinen shaped the terminal for JFK International airport New York like
a bird ready to fly away.” I want more people to understand the industry of
architects, because building a house requires many steps to complete, and there
are many things to consider. When a house is completed, you will see your
results great sense of accomplishment. I chose to be an architect because I like
painting and traveling. Whenever I go to other places, I will pay attention to the
local architecture. Because the style is different, it will make people fascinated,
and I can do build more buildings in the future they like. I have been studying
architectural design for 4 years. I always hope that I can become an architect.
For this reason, I have been pursuing this goal. I want to apply the knowledge I
have learned to future buildings. I want to let me build buildings become more
usable and firmer, so that people can be more at ease and comfortable, so I
choose to be an architect, and that an architect will suit me.
Architects will bring people a more convenient life. For example, the
construction of sidewalks allows people to pass safely, and the construction of
public toilets can make the environment cleaner. These all require architects to
design and build. In the article, “Architecture future: How buildings will begin
to make our lives better”, “Dreaming up compelling ways to shape them offers
building and landscape architects an opportunity to remain vital — and brings
them closer to the people they serve, grounding them in a world that rises
Lei 4
increasingly into clouds.” this quote say Architecture is closely related to our
daily life. The buildings we see come from different architects. They can bring
convenience to our lives, make us closer, and make us live in a comfortable
environment. There are also architects who can establish a good relationship
with many people, because, in cooperation, architects need to communicate
with others to complete, so that architects can better understand the needs of
others and can design and build them for the desired effect. Architects can also
bring us a lot of joy. For example, there are more opportunities to travel, visit
buildings in different places, and study their buildings. Time is freer, and you
can set your own time to complete things. These are the reasons to become an
architect. You can learn more about the profession of architects through books,
movies or articles, and I believe that more outstanding architects will build
more outstanding buildings in the future. You should choose to become an
architect, because many buildings require an architect to design, including
safety, applicability and beautification. There are several reasons for this, one
of the reasons you should choose to become an architect is that design can turn
people's fantasies into reality based on what people think in their hearts.
Another reason you should choose to become an architect is that you can create
great and outstanding buildings. The third reason you should choose to be an
architect is that design can create a better life. The last reason you should
choose to become an architect is that you can have more job opportunities.

Judging from the information I have seen in the article, I believe that the
profession of an architect will be very promising, because architecture has
always existed in daily life or in history, and there will be architecture where
there are people. We cannot do without architecture, including We live in
houses, schools, hospitals, so the profession of architects will not disappear,
only the demand for architects will increase. Therefore, loving life and living
environment, becoming an architect can change a beautiful life so that everyone
can enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by architects, and for this goal,
strive to become an architect, hoping to be an architect in the future Bring some
well-designed and well-built houses so that more people can enjoy them.
