Education/Career Advice...

For those of you feeling mentorly or paternal, I'm looking for your wisdom here. And some feedback on what the people on this forum do for a living.

For the last four years as an undergrad architecture student, I've been telling my teachers that, although I love to study and experience architecture, I'm much more interested in being a "geometrist" than being an architect. Or that I don't want to be great architect, but that I'd much rather help a great architect (or artist) realize the crazy shapes they design.

As a designer I have problems - mainly that I get too hung up on form. Every design just becomes an attempt to model some difficult shape. And this has derailed many projects. So I start grad school next year, and I'm just wondering whether an MArch is really what I need. I think that it probably is, because even as a person focused on geometry, I want that focus to be applied to the built environment (or art or design).

So I guess I'm wondering what you guys do; are you enjoying it; what you majored in; etc., so that maybe I can properly plan the rest of my college life, before reality sets in again.

Thanks,

Chris
