Well, back in HS, I was all about going on to becoming and Architect... then parents convinced me to go towards law school and a real college (vs tech school)...
yup... I leaned towards architecture in the beginning too..... but figured out I liked structures more than what color limestone to use..... a Civil degree is much more flexible than arch.
you should see some of the stuff I've done with AutoCAD and/or Microstation... I learned, earlier this week, that InRoads (microstation add-on) doesn't like vertical curves that actually go vertical..... simply because I wanted to draw a 3D roller coaster that looked somewhat realistic..... damn procrastination at work! lol
