I'm currently doing my Abitur, but unfortunately I would like to quit and start a technical Abitur in social affairs, because the right Abitur is one level too difficult for me and I overestimated myself there. However, I don't want to sit there with my tenth grade and don't know exactly which training I want to do, so I know in which direction I want. But I just want something higher than my tenth grade and I don't know yet whether this training is available, but you can find out more below. Therefore the social Fachabi, and I also find the social direction very interesting. However, I have a question for you, and I have been dealing with a job for a long time where I don't know if it exists and if so, how I get there. You probably know these companies where you can go if you want to have a new kitchen or a new bathroom ect, but if you don't want to buy them but want to create them yourself, this is usually done with VR sight or a program on the PC that you can almost imagine it correctly. And I would like to do something like that with houses, I love to design houses so to imagine everything how it could be. And maybe I would like to start my own company later, that would be such a dream of mine. However, I'm now finishing high school and can therefore not study in that direction, because many I asked said that I would get very far with architecture because they are planning something like that too, but I mean it is something more modern, so to speak I don't want to do so much math but really just concentrate on the customers and create the perfect house that they can then look at with VR glasses or programs on the PC or laptop. Does anyone know if this job exists? Or at least something like that? With an apprenticeship, maybe you can also study something like that with a technical diploma in social affairs? If this job doesn't exist, it could also be invented, I would be honestly open to it, but for that I have to have a start somewhere, and that's my problem, I don't know where or with what training or whatever. I miss this beginning to be able to work my way up a bit, maybe later to found my own company or something like that, and if there's really an apprenticeship I would have to apply now because all the apprenticeships will start again in August. Therefore I urgently need your help, maybe you know someone who knows that that would be really nice of you, because I really don't know who to turn to anymore. The career counselor doesn't really understand what I mean, she just keeps saying I have to study architecture but doesn't really listen to me. Because in my eyes architecture is something else.
Then you need a full high school diploma and have to study architecture.
What you are describing is what makes one to one the architect.
Or what do you imagine an architect to be?
Well, as far as I've read myself, the architect mostly just does the math, and I'm honest. Matte really doesn't suit me. Nevertheless, I would like to make my dream come true and math shouldn't get in my way. I mean, of course, the architect also plans, but he doesn't sit down so intensively with the customer and design the house correctly, which I mean for a profession is kind of like a draftsman who stands there with his blue paper and the house on this blue Paper draws, you know what I mean And I would like to do something like that, but in a modern form with programs on the PC so that you can ultimately look at the house with VR glasses even though it is not there yet. Maybe there's a similar job? I just want to do the math as little as possible, which is why I really don't get along well with math, and that has always been the case since elementary school. But I just love to look at pictures of houses and then collect all the ideas and create my own. I don't know do you know these model houses? I had also considered working there, because that way you don't have to take the customers' wishes into account, but can live out your own creativity.
But not only that, you don't have to recreate the houses directly, but you could imagine how the house should look with all the bells and whistles, and then design it as a small model or save it as a file on the PC that when customers come you Imagine this to you and then you just have to find one to build the house. But I didn't really find out about this job, so I don't want to make such big sayings.
But somehow there must be a similar job that doesn't require a degree because, as I said, I actually wanted to drop out of high school, so it's actually much too difficult for me, because I don't know how to get a degree. And nowadays I think if you get a decent training and your boss realizes that you are going further, he may offer you further training and thus you may be able to work your way up, of course you will not become an architect like that, but maybe you get a lot closer to it.
Yes, architects do that among other things. If you're only interested in drawing, you can actually become a belly draftsman. But you can't avoid math, after all, you have to model it to scale. You can do something like that with the software "ArCon". Many architects use them to better illustrate to the customer how it is planned. The customer can then, for example, order changes, such as other materials or colors.
But the architect always comes first. The architect plans the house together with the customer and creates the first drawings or nowadays (whatever you want) 3D models on the computer. It is the draftsman's turn when the architect and the customer have already agreed. The draftsman then takes over the sketches and drafts from the architect and creates precise plans from them. Of course, as a draftsman you can also visualize the plans, but you still have to make the construction plans because otherwise the workers will not know what to do.
So if you want to plan a house design or interior design, etc. Together with the customer, you have to become an architect. Such planning is a process. You discuss a lot with the customer and then prepare the first sketches (e.g. On the PC with a 3D program so that the customer can better imagine). And this continues until the customer is satisfied and doesn't want to change anything. Of course, you always have to keep an eye on the building regulations and structural properties. If everything fits, you can make an initial cost proposal. If the customer agrees, the plans and drafts go to the draftsman, who then records everything true to size in a construction plan and possibly visualized true to size on the PC. During the construction itself, the architect coordinates everything and represents the client's interests.
But in both cases you can't avoid math and physics (especially statics). And technical drawing is also a compulsory subject in both professions.
That's nice for your detailed answer, but can you also become an architect with a Fachabi? Or is it not possible to do a real estate apprenticeship somehow and perhaps do something similar to architects, perhaps assistants in planning and design, with further training?
or do you know a similar job?
