it depends. if u have an uncle or a friend of ur parents would be great. usually architects prefer not to take the "uninitiated" (term we give to those who never studied design) unless they can get something out of it. my father's friend used to gila2 show me everything about architecture (after my SPM), but i found out eventually he was trying to get a project out of my dad lol.
anyways, for the uninitiated, most u'll do is help to colour drawings (if they still do things manually). one that i did was colouring blueprints. i hated it. blueprints smell like piss! and somebody has to do it!
but here's the thing: u need to be able to READ drawings. not look at them. but READ. i know, it's hard to explain, but architects READ drawings. ur ability to pick this skill up (since u're not initiated) will tremendously boost urself in the eyes of the people in the office.
a relative of mine is an architect. maybe can seek my dad to ask him. anyways, for the uninitiated, most u'll do is help to colour drawings (if they still do things manually). one that i did was colouring blueprints. i hated it. blueprints smell like piss! and somebody has to do it!

to be frank wif u, try getting some architectural related softwares and toy wif it instead of looking for jobs. try getting familiar wif it or even do a small design wif this softwares.
an early grasp of these softwares will put u ahead of ur colleagues during ur studies esp during first year, where ppl r still groping in da dark while u have a clear advantage.
Softwares worth trying out are AUTOCAD, ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP and SKETCHUP. These softwares come wif good Help files and basic tutorial, so you should be able to sweat it out on ur own after us STPM.
Yeah i know this doesnt pay, but hey, if u do well in ur studies next time, guess who'll benefit in da end? you or ur wallet?
ok..thx for ur suggestions. i used to hv the Autocad installed in my pc...ok..that was 8 yrs ago...and it was in my old PC...an early grasp of these softwares will put u ahead of ur colleagues during ur studies esp during first year, where ppl r still groping in da dark while u have a clear advantage.
