Every year thousands of students graduate from B. Architecture colleges in India. Most of them pursue this degree either to become an independent architect or to fill in the role of an architect at some firm. Although architecture seems to be a pretty narrow field as a career, there are several paths one can choose after pursuing an architecture degree. An architecture degree equips one with visual, creative and practical design skills. Here are a few of the careers you can apply these skills in:

1.Architect: The most obvious and first option is pursuing the job role of an architect. You can either work independently with several builders or can be employed at an architecture firm that gives you several different client projects. The main job of an architect is to come up with innovative and feasible designs according to the builders' wishes. It includes channeling one's artistic creativity while keeping in mind the cost-effectiveness and functionality of these designs.

2.Interior Designer: This is one of the most famous career choices of recent times. Interior designers need to have a creative vision that they can sell to the client. They design and renovate internal spaces, may it be a commercial space or a house. An interior designer must be able to create practical designs, and must be well versed with the elements and technicalities of design. This career path is often very high paying.

3.Town or City Planner: Candidates who have an architecture degree and have a talent for structural organization and interest in sustainable development can consider this as a career option. Often builders who want to create town schemes or the government employs town and city planners to plan an area’s layout. It involves working alongside other professionals to come up with a plan for the development of that certain area. You must be able to balance the environment along with the population, economy, and culture of that area and ensure that your design or plan does justice to all.

4.Production Designer: Although an architecture degree teaches one to deal with mostly large spaces and building projects, one can also pursue a career as a production designer on the sets of a film or a daily soap. It is a much more creative path and also pays well for those who pursue this career path. It mainly involves designing the film sets and setting them up according to the demands of the storyline.
