re: Who here is an Architect?

Do you enjoy it?

Yes, I really cannot think of doing or enjoying another career. I get paid to draw and design.

Are you happy with the career choice you made?

Yes, but it requires tons of sacrifice from college all the way to the professional level. After college, you are pretty green and there is a lot of shite that you have to learn, from Building Codes to Autocad/Revit software to answering questions from other trades or even inspectors. If I were to recommend somebody who is planning to study architecture, I would say find a more rewarding career.

Where did you go to school?

LSU Class of '98.

Oh and a couple of advice: do not go work for an independent architect who has his/her own firm, you will be working at a sweat shop. Look for the large, corporate architectural firms.

And, forget that fantasy that you designed in school. In the real world, get ready for some boring shite such as designing schools or supermarkets.
