Hi there,
I'm currently studying and I'm about 3/4 of my way through my course and it is torture. I can't stand construction but I love 3ds max and revit. I know if you can use these programs there is plenty of work out there.
I know a few people have dropped the construction subjects in the past and focused on the presentation side and are doing quite well. But every teacher I speak to says "no no finish the course" but of course no teacher is going to encourage me to drop any subjects. My max and revit progression is suffering big time from the extra work load. 8 subjects a semester is way too much.
I do plan to do the VGC course next year which is a Vocational Graduate Certificate in Digital Architectural Illustration which is of course focused on presentation and modeling. So I don't need the diploma to get into the VGC just the Cert IV which I have.
I'd love to hear from some people who know about the industry in Australia.
Thank you.
