Year 1 Part out?
So it's been just a few weeks after graduation (2:1) and here I am, still no job in architecture 
I'm beginning to wonder whether it is worth spending my time soley on gaining a degree in Architecture, which will take another 10 years or so and move onto some other form of design.
Is anyone else experiencing the same things after Part 1? It feels like it's just me, thought I know full well that not all students in my year have placement.
I've been approved for a maintenance grant from SF,following the university's instructions whilst seeking placement. If I don't find placement within 2 years, or decide not to go further with the degree, would I need to pay it back, even though it is a grant? (just on the basis that in the letter I wrote, I said that I'm currently seeking placement)
I knew it was going to be bad, but it just feels like I'm waiting around for something to happen... Don't get me wrong, a few practices have praised my CV and work, but don't have any placements....
