L GET OUT THERE! Merce Munoz
ast summer, I played beach volleyball for the first time—nerd that I was in high school. Of course, I went too hard and hurt my lower back within the first hour of play. With my poker face in place, I struggled to finish the game, then endured an excruciating sleepless night. The next day, I went to my physiotherapist and was recounting my heroic volleyball moves when she broke in to ask me what I do. “Architecture,” I replied. Without batting an eyelash, she responded, “so, you sit all day. Your back pain is not from a single overexerted volleyball game but years of sitting all day…” (all day) (all day) (all day) it echoed. Next thing I knew, I was on Indeed looking for a change in career.

Just kidding. The reality is there are so many facets of an architecture career. Contrary to the common (and rather offensive) stereotype of just sitting and drawing all day. Behind the glamorous image of a designer, lies a very demanding mental and physical reality on top of extreme intelligence (ahem).
