Hi - I just joined this forum>> anyways, im considering going into architecture, but i currently have some concerns - besides how im worried about not living long enough to actually accomplish something in the field (im hearing a lot about how architecture eventually pays off in the older years?), im also worried about the workplace. how is the work environment? how much does it vary? im more concerned with how enjoyable the career would be, than with the money. im very outdoor loving, flexible, and cant live with routine - would this be a problem when going into the field? my dream workplace would be a very casual environment - no 9-5 cubicle living>> is this kind of workplace possible to attain?

sorry if these are pretty basic questions, but currently, all ive been doing is browsing sites, and job shadowed once, so im not very well informed on how the architecture lifestyle is, or how life in other careers work in general. im just trying to get as much information as i can at the moment, and any input would be helpful - thanks
