Alternative Careers for Architects

From Architect's Alice Liao:

Not all career changes from architecture require quitting a full-time job—and more importantly, the paycheck that accompanies it—for retraining or school. Myriad professions benefit from skills honed in architecture, such as design thinking, creative problem solving, and project management, which can ease and hasten the daunting transition and life decision. Expertise in architecture can even be desirable or a prerequisite in the new field.
