Hey Rick. I am a junior in High School in Texas. I love the design part of Architecture, but I am really looking for a job where I can comfortably live with a family at 80 to 100k per year. Will I get this from Architecture or do I need to take Architectural Engineering? Is there any way I can work both the design and the construction documents in the same job post college while making the salary I would like or do I need to choose? Will a MArch be something that will allow me to do both jobs with? Also, based on your answer, what schools in and nearby Texas do you recommend for the degree? Finally, I am looking for a scholarship to pay most of my schooling, and that really is the deciding factor on what college I go to, so do you have advice for getting those scholarships or advice on schools that would be more inclined to give those scholarships out?
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance.
