In which an article tells me not to major in architecture, I need to brush up on math, and a meme.

[remula]

1. AN ARTICLE! Unemployment Soars Among College Majors Like Architecture, which includes the best first line ever!
   

   If you want the best odds of getting a job after graduation, don't major in architecture.

   Apparently the unemployment rate for architecture is 13.9%. Awesome! x_x (aznearthdragon sent me the link this morning, so it was the first thing I read when I got up. You can imagine my motivation level for job hunting afterwards, lol.) [ETA]: Here's the article on ArchDaily with the PDF of the full report.



2. TUTORING! In other news, aznearthdragon got me an interview at some tutoring place for Saturday morning! She went in today after she was done with work and she said it didn't go so well for her since she wasn't prepared. =/ Anyway, aznearthdragon said I need to brush up on my pre-calc and calculus. Kkinda sucks since I haven't really done math in forever, but whatever, I'll review tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully things work out so I can actually make some money while I'm looking for an actual job in my field.



3. A MEME!
   

   1) Discover the #1 single in your country of origin in the week you were born.
   2) Find it on YouTube.
   3) Post it on your LJ/DW page without shame. Or for some of you, with shame.

   
   
   
   I've never heard this song before, lol.

WOo, figure might be misleading dear! There was an article during my first year saying that similar declarations, but thing is, they were comparing Bacherlors across faculties , when in fact most of us graduated with Masters. It might have made a difference.

Best of luck in job finding (a suggestion, emphasizing you are a great team player helps a lot, even more so than a great portfolio. Firms usually need somebody to join their already established teams)

Yeah, I don't really understand how they even determine the rate or what they're comparing it to, lol.

Thanks for the advice! ♥

LOL I used to LOVE that song! Until it came on the radio a few weeks ago, I hadn't heard it in about 15 years. And I still knew all the words. :D
