The Right Answer! The Right Career!
Web Designers effectively replaced Builders and Architects and even Interior Designers by creating suitable environments online.
Let us look at the excellent role played by architects and builders in the society. Besides building homes for us, they largely create commercial spaces and markets for people to transact business. Over the years they built bigger and bigger marketplaces and people went crazy buying. However, lately the marketplaces have been empty and lesser and lesser business is being conducted. But, why? Well, the cost of the marketplace has to be added to the cost of the goods and the goods went north with their prices. However, there was no choice so people had to make do with what was being offer. But not any more!
Well Architects and Builders are supposed to build us environments to conduct business. However, if you take a look at how people shop nowadays, then you’d realize that the costly to maintain malls are for loitering around and cooling off and the purchases being made online through amazon and flipkart.
