Q Will my non-architectural family background prevent me from finding a job. I am in my last year of study and really worried about how I am going to find work. It seems everyone else has options. I come from a family who run a shop, whereas some of my contemporaries are children of architects, and many of them are pretty posh. I get the feeling they get a lot of help and guidance. My parents came here in the 70s, and I am the first in my family who has gone on to higher education. I am at a provincial university, and I cannot afford to move to London on the off chance of finding work. What should I do? It feels like architecture is a very class-based occupation where those who succeed are the well-connected or moneyed.
