<p>Yeah. I have been reading all these posts and news articles about how architects are having a bad time now. But I think the people in other professions are also suffering because of the economic depression, not just architects. And I also heard from a lot of people that new architects don’t do a lot of the designing work, they do more of the technical stuff like doing the renderings. I’m also applying to architecture schools and my parents told me just do what i want to do, but don’t quit later on when I can’t handle the workload because architects work ALOT.
Now I’m just hoping that the economy will get better by the time I graduate from college and I’ll be able to get a stable job and get a decent salary (maybe 50,000 per year? Is that realistic?)</p>
