How Do You Know if You Want to Work in Architecture?

What really matters is that the portfolio actually got you to the interview. The rest of whether or not you hire them probably comes from the interview more than anything else, and how much you are willing to spend on them. So don't be discouraged if they do look at it quickly. It doesn't mean they aren't interested in you or don't have patience. It's probably just because they've done it a lot and can tell they see right through to who you are.
