What is a better career in today’s economy? Architect or Professor? I am currently going to architecture school for my BArch and I am deciding between getting my MArch with certification in historic preservation and practicing as a preservation architect or getting a PhD in architecture or architecture history and be a professor. I love history, to design and to teach and give lectures. Which career pays more, has more benefits, has less stress, travels more and will be easier to get a job? It seems like everyone is getting a MArch/BArch, but not a PhD in architecture. Thank you for your help and time.
