Like the idea of being part of a design team and watching your concepts come to life as real buildings? You've got a few different options in terms of design training and careers. You can go to university and complete a bachelor's or master's degree in architecture. Or you can focus on the inside of buildings and homes and become an interior designer. Another option is to become a building design technician. This typically involves a one-to-two-year diploma program in drafting and design technology. If you're looking for a shorter training option, becoming a building designer makes more sense than becoming a licensed architect.  Let's take a closer look at what it takes to start a career in this field.

At what point does "helping" and "supporting" turn into "overbearing" and "smothering"? This is a question you'll find yourself pondering quite often as an early childhood educator (ECE). Or maybe you're a parent and have already wondered how much is *too* much when it comes to helping your own kids learn and grow. We're talking about the phenomenon called "helicopter" parenting. In a nutshell, helicopter parents are overly focused on their children. They "hover" over their every move, and take too much responsibility for their child's failures and successes.
