I came across this set of videos designed to guide people curious about choosing architecture as a discipline. Each short video, accompanied by a time-lapsed notebook sketch, is narrated by an architect explaining commonly held misconceptions and clarifying the discipline it takes to become an architect.

Another quick note, I found this book and thought it was a very good read. Fully illustrated and simple to understand, it is perfect for creative types wanting to soak up up good information fast.
