Cliffs:

Over $100,000 in schooling.

Job offers around 30,000-40,000

may begin work in the construction field for better pay

[Syntax-101]

100k of schooling? ****ty man. What do top architects make?

[johnsonbagaroni]

sorry for yur lose bro

[bigtmonz]

It depends... Once you become licensed you are most likely making around 65,000-70,000. Until your licensed you make S*** money

[taddpole]

My dad is an architect. Good field after you get experience.

[Tacomaster]

What are your short/long term goals in your career brah? Sucks you can't get that dream job right away but you need money to stay afloat,

good luck to you with your aspirations.

Friend of mine has a brother that graduated in engineering, not sure what field of engineering but he couldn't find work after college for almost a year. He had internships and good grades as well. How long have you been unemployed?

[dannymac19]

Age: 23

I have a friend who is doing architecture, hes currently 19 and in his first year of a seven year course. Crazy.

[kyble]

100k, work about 10 years just to pay that shiit off lol, wtf man

[heynah]

You can't take a low-paying job for the short term just to get experience and pay bills? Surely that's better than nothing?

[bigtmonz]

Short term goals are to become licensed either as a PE working in the construction field or a RA working in the architecture field. Long term ideally I would like to enjoy my work

[bigtmonz]

I have an offer to work as a project engineer for a large NY contractor looks like that is the path i am going to take. Pay is almost double architecture pay

[High_Endurance]

[Yoopwat]

Nice. Do it. 60k to 80k? Damn. Ballin bro.

[bigtmonz]

I received my undergad from New York Institute of Technology. I was recently accepted to LTU's m.Arch program but unsure if I am going to attend due to the cost and my uncertainty if I will stay in the architecture field

[zhinii_old]

I know that feel with architecture, but you dun goofed with over 100k for schooling

you can't call yourself an architect until you pass the tests and do your internship hours.

[Yoopwat]

Why didn't you consider going to an English or European school since they're miles better and way cheaper?

[jetnut]

why dont you get phuckin licensed?

[simion3]

so you didnt take any of the jobs offering 30-40k? smart move.

Typical, entitled attitude. Why should a company employ you and pay big bucks if you don't have the experience?

How about you take the entry level job, get some experience, and then become licensed.

[dhillon09]

Do you know Art Vandalay?

[BrainChild]

i work as a drafter at an arch office. you need to start low as a arch designer then you will move up if your designs are good.

[Briisk]

Did you apply to any big firms, what are your classmates doing, what programs do u mainly use/are educated in?

I am a 3rd year undergrad for architecture... fuuuuuakkkk

[Yoopwat]

I work for Coop Himmelblau, come at me.

[zhinii_old]

Is Mya Lin an architect?

nope, she is an artist and a sculpture. edit: unless she is licensed

let us be real tea. at 23, you're maybe 2 years out of school. i'm gonna call BS if you are going to claim have taken projects from the owners conceptual design phase all the way through the finished product.

[SF49ers]

Im a PE for a large construction firm...

Industry is so competitive and the Arch has to pay his engineers etc. Running your own firm makes you bank, a license makes you middle class. I was surprised to see how underpaid they truly are.
