But after so many years in this field, please let me tell you this right now...DON'T BE AN ARCHITECT. After years of tough training in school and internship at work, 99% of the people in this field cannot pass License exam and to have their own practice. <br /><br />Do you want to know how much a licensed architect makes a year? Max 70K----and this is normally 15 to 20 years after college...if you have your own license. <br /><br />I am seriously considering about going back to school to become a dentist now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828128478992305710.post-65662616818366481142009-09-12T01:06:26.382-05:002009-09-12T01:06:26.382-05:00Hello,

From my experience, I think it is the same in any field, that is you are expect to work with someone and serve the more experienced, especially if you do not have any licenses to authorized your say. As in any field, when you get the licensed and the experience, you can become an associate if things work out. If not, you may consider working for yourself. I heard the high percentage of architect are self employed. At least you have some say in your destiny.<br /><br />My experience in finance and accounting with the same years of experience has about the above same pay as in architecture, and the same level of work hours, effort, and also move from coast to coast, start ups. From job to jobs, And people thought Wall street were all high paying jobs??? Not so, even back in then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828128478992305710.post-62306864375183765372009-08-06T11:36:44.856-05:002009-08-06T11:36:44.856-05:00Hi there,

I graduated 3 years ago with a master in architecture; worked in the industry for about 5 years and I am definitely ready to go back to school so I can have a decent life. I love architecture, but the truth is that you almost never get to do what you are passionate about, you always have “more experienced” architects that you will serve for years and years before you can actually have an opinion – not your own design – but an opinion. The pay is unbelievably low – when you graduate with a master degree and 50K-100K in loans, you will make somewhere between 30K – 40K a year. Schedule wise – expect to work and work – many times late hours and many weekends. I have been at work until 5am and sometimes came in at 3am to finish projects. I have worked 60-70 hours a week (when the economy was up). When the economy goes down you’re faced with payouts and reduced hours. Architecture is very dependant on the economy, so every 10 years or so you should expect a slow down. <br />Finally, my advice as a person that loves design – go into dentistry. At least you’re going to have a decent schedule and get paid for what you’re worth.<br />Someone should have told me this a long time ago. <br /><br />Whatever you decide – good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
