Architects' role

so i have been thinking....what's architects' role.
oh btw, i really like lots of courses offered in ISU architecture department. These classes so opened my view to the possibility of other related occupation with a B.Architecture degree. Love it~~~!!!
and i think this is what education suppose to do. not necessary of making us architects, but "giving" us the ability to learn, to think, to imagine, to cooperate...etc...oh..and give us opportunites to explore, open up our mind.
and yes. opens our mind.

so i have been thinking what i really should do with an architecture major.
well....i am interested in teaching Architecture at school. Teaching is a very interesting occupation. Teacher is basically a role model of students. and influence students' in all sorts of ways, good or bad. and for me, Teachers really play a big part of my life decisions! also....ummmmm God's love is expressed by his people. and just by acting justly and loving mercy and walking humbly is to do god's work.
and ...i am also interested in city planning and architecture. Might be influenced by my childhood experience of growing up in a city of 20 million. Shanghai! Shanghai! Shanghai! so yeah. and there's so many city redevelopment projects recently. and when you get into the particular parts of the city it's suddenly so different with the surroundings, more vivid, energetic, refreshening. but yet so well integrated with the surroundings in terms of use, circulation etc. what interests me more is that...a city changes over time although the changes tie to its history as well. and how should a cityscape design fit the pace with the change of city.
and i may want to be a social worker....like..just taking pictures of the true poverty.
and ...what is grabbing my attention now is working for the true poverty. Renassaince Center in Detroit, Transbay Project in San Francisco.....they are all cool projects. and as a designer i know...how interesting and inspiring it is to work on projects like this. but what about the people in true poverty, in vain?.......Architects, down to earth, are social workers. Working for the public good.

Time will tell the story.
