Grad school or start my architecture business? (Viewer Question + a decision-making framework)
In this video I answer a viewer's question and describe the 5-step framework I use when making difficult decisions. Marcel from Wisconsin asks whether he should continue on with graduate school or get started building his design-build architecture business.
My framework for making difficult decisions consists of 5 essential questions. They are:
1 - Which choice best supports my definition of success?
2 - Which route provides the most optionality?
3 - Does choosing one option preclude exercising the other or others at a later date? (Linear progression - i.e. licensure or a parallel one - i.e. business)
4 - What is the opportunity cost? What do I give up by selecting one route over the other?
5 - Is this actually a false choice? Can I do both?
Although I initially dodged the question, I offer my honest opinion beginning at the 7:30 mark. What do you think, do you agree? Disagree? Let's help Marcel out by sharing your thoughts in the comments.
