Many students may face the dilemma of "being unemployed after graduation"! Isn't it good to be able to work in a design institute? How is it a pit?
Students, when you are studying hard, the construction industry has begun to decline with great fanfare, and the income of employees has begun to decline. From picking projects in the past, it has become looking for projects, and now it has become seeking projects. If you still feel that the design institute has high technical content, high social status, and high income, and you still want to enter the design institute after graduation, then you are OUT!
Today's design institute has long lost its former glory, and it is really "a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken". If you enter the design institute, it will be a pit!
At the end of the day, times have changed. The era of frenzied infrastructure has passed, and the surplus of "600 million buildings in the country" has led to the flow of capital from crude reinforced concrete to new energy and biotechnology. From a broad perspective, the development of a country will not only rely on those low-tech infrastructure, but must have the courage of a strong man to drive capital into the field of innovation. But there will inevitably be the pain of a strong man breaking his wrist, and everyone in the construction industry must bear to accept it, from real estate developers to designers in design institutes, no one can escape.
Haven't you seen it? There are constant reports on the Internet: XX Design Institute has started to cut salaries, XX Design Institute has begun to lay off employees, XX Design Institute has begun to suspend work and production for long vacations, XX Design Institute is about to transfer again, XX Design Institute has filed for bankruptcy, XX design institute has disbanded a professional team on the spot, and so on. Even if you enter the design institute with all kinds of strength, you will be unemployed again one day!
The dividends of the construction industry have passed, and after decades of vigorous and rapid growth, the work value of the design institute and the designers of the design institute can no longer be found. If you just like this professional technology and the work of the design institute, then you might as well get back the value of the designer's work first!
First, designers should stay away from capital. Because there is no such parameter as a building solution in the thinking model of return on capital investment. If you design a building as A or B, capital doesn't care at all, they want to maximize profits. What room do you have for artistic creation and value creation?
The second is to improve efficiency and invest limited time in valuable places. Now the design institute is inefficient, and everyone is obeying Party A's command, mechanical drawing, mechanical modification, time-consuming and laborious no results. A few years ago, there was an AI forced layout of the general drawing, a second to change the plan, now AI and BIM can produce construction drawings, many people complain that they are going to be robbed of their jobs, but this is precisely the opportunity for the development of the industry, let people do creative non-mechanical, decision-making work, let the machine to draw, why not? Only in the change can we find new opportunities, improve efficiency, find their own value, and make money.
The third is to consider the pursuit of art when doing design. Many people in this world will confuse the problem, I want a job that not only makes money, but also loves it, and has artistic pursuits, and at the same time has social status. Who are you? How can there be so many good things on your own? From now on, if income is the main consideration and the bottom line, you can say goodbye to architecture and change jobs as soon as possible. If you don't care about money, you care about artistic pursuits, you can still be happy, but the premise is that artistic pursuits are really what you want most, and far more than making money!
It is not enough to find the value of the designer's work only by the above "one, two, three", because our undergraduate is also very limited, a lot of very important knowledge has not been learned to go to the society, such as financial management, macroeconomics, project management, marketing planning, communication and coordination, etc., and they have to continue to learn in order to ensure that they can meet the needs of future planning and design. Only by constantly improving one's own ability can it be possible to fill this "hole". Do you want to continue studying? Are you willing to continue studying? If you really want to, you must read more and learn more with an open mind.
If you feel that you can't fill this hole, don't take this road! Everyone is so young, don't hang yourself from a tree, don't drill into a field with no expectations, "gentlemen don't have tools", you can make money everywhere.
