The conversation covers:

Why mentoring can help students and professionals read the wider profession
How fees, self-worth and commercial viability affect architecture careers
What technology and social media can add to mentoring relationships
Why financial stability and passion need to be discussed together
How professional guidance can make career decisions less isolated
