How to become a Azure Solutions Architect
I am currently about to graduate high school and apply for a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology majoring in Computer Science. May I ask for advice on how to start my journey to become a solutions architect? Such as learning pathways, skills to develop, entry-level jobs that I can get hand-on experience with, and needed certifications.
Furthermore, I would like to know what it is like to become a Solutions Architect. Such as what is a typical day to day life as a solutions architect. Do you have the option to work remotely/hybrid? What is the work environment like?

To become an Azure Solutions Architect, focus on learning cloud basics, networking, and programming during your degree. Get hands-on experience with entry-level IT or cloud jobs. Earn certifications like Azure Fundamentals and later the Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
A Solutions Architect designs cloud solutions, works with teams, and solves problems. The job often allows remote or hybrid work and involves a mix of tech and communication skills. It’s a fast-paced but rewarding role.
