Hi everyone,

I have several questions about being an architect, if you don't mind answering. I don't expect one person to answer every single question, so please feel free to pick and choose.

Here are the questions:

1. What steps did you take to land this job?
2. What skills were most critical in your early career?
3. Walk me through a typical day - what parts excite you most?
4. What are the biggest challenges you face?
5. What new skills have you had to learn?
6. What changes do you see impacting this job in the next 5 years?
7. How do you stay motivated and continue growing in this position?
8. What advice would you give a teenager (around 15/16 years old) if they chose to pursue this career?
