So I was doing a research on architecture and out of no where he started talking how some people are selfish and only focus on their pleasures during sex and he connected it to how architects should design for the humans and not their ego. I mean, it is a smart example but I didn’t find it appropriate especially that he could’ve used many other examples to make the same argument. He then started saying that it is the same as masturbation and some stuff on how sex should be for the pleasure of both etc. he was also telling me not to be shy about this topic. I nodded my head and waited for him to finish this topic so that we can move to other topics that are less embarrassing. I am not sure if this is normal in academia or if I should’ve reported it.

So I graduated from the masters of architecture program in the U.S and I am kinda lost in what to do next. I have zero experience in architecture inside the U.S but I worked as an architect outside the U.S 4 years ago before I moved here. I am more interested in Academia but at the same time I wanna work as an Architect because I love design so much. Should I study for the ARE exams and try to pass them while applying for jobs and would this increase my chances in getting a job at architectural firms? Or should I prioritize getting a job as an architectural designer and then see if I wanna become a licensed architect or switch to Academia and get a PhD? I just would appreciate any advice because I’m at the point of not knowing what to do, and I feel I don’t have many options considering my lack of professional experience here.
