This week we interviewed an architect named Michael. He works at Odell Associates as an architect. Being an architect means you have to be creative with your designs. He has to work with people like lawyers and engineers to assure that people will be safe. Architects have to sketch a building before making it. Some good advice he gave us was make sure you're learning in the process of your career. When he worked and didn't succeed someone always encouraged him to try again. An interesting fact about Michael was that his favorite subject in school was art. He says he has to work as a team to get all his sketches done right. Michael has a very dangerous job because when he is working the house he is building there is always a chance that the building could cave in. Some more good advice is to ask about the world around you so you'll understand things better. He also says find your ability and use that ability it. A piece of advice from me is the sky is the limit so you can be whatever you want to be.

Adventures Into Interviews : John
Welcome to my blog! Every week my class will interview someone new and learn about their education and career. Our weekly interviews will be a part of our" We've Got Our is On Careers" project.
This week we interviewed John. Some things we learned from John is that you should never give up even when you have a major setback. During the time John was in college his freshman year wasn't so good so when he met his professors they inspired him to do better. Some more advice he gave us was find something that you're interested in and no matter what people say go for it. John had to make a very hard choice. What college did he want to go to? After he made his choice he picked Northern Illinois University. An interesting fact about John is that he was a straight A student after his freshman year of college. At that college he was taking his first steps to get his PHD, then he went to The University Of Chicago to finish getting his PHD. To me I think he would be a good teacher, role model and friend.
