Been scouring throught the internet but what i got was quite vague and unhelpful really! So what do you guys think? Anyone has any first hand experiences? Time to take some decsions for me so was thinking about architecture; sounds quite cool and good money too. No?
Here's a salary survey for architects - take from this what you will...
My cousin's an Architect working for a relatively small but high-profile consultancy, and was made Associate Director aged about 32. He's definitely veryand seems to do OK moneywise.

I don't really know what architecture is like as a job, but i was thinking about becoming one aswell (im about to go into uni next year).
There were two things that put me off:
1. Its a seven year course (i felt that was too much for me)
2. I felt that instead of doing wicked building like skyscrapers for banks and other high profile buildings, it would mainly consist of designing house estates that all look the same.
I never really did much research into it, it was purely what i thought so i might be completely wrong but i just thought i would write what i thought as i was in a similar situation to you a few months back.
You've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?
@ schmunk looking at salary not bad! not as much as medicine though hmmmn
@ midzt yeah i understand what you mean but i suppose as u get more expensive and contacts it might (hopefully!) get more exciting! Yeah very long course but afaik 2 years is paid work expereince?
The Salary's are awesome but be aware that the Uni course is VERY hard work, VERY demanding and takes a whole lot of HARD work
^^ "life would be boring if there weren't any challenges on the way"
lol
Yep totally. Just so as your aware though - quite a few of my mates were architects when I saw them
Don't know much about architecture as a career. However I will say do what you geuninely have a passion for, and so long as you dont get bored of something in a short space of time, you cant really go wrong
