Help me with career advice please?

I want to be an Architect, but many people constantly telling me that it is a difficult career choice and the money is very low. I heard that it takes 5 years B.Arch+ 3 masters+1 year doctrine and in 3 years you can get your license. Why they are getting paid so low? Please tell me how much money I can expect as an Architect? If there any Architects or people who know??


I don't want to design people's houses or any buildings and live in apartment whole my life! Thank You.Help me with career advice please?
Use the salary calculator in hotjobs. It looks like with a bachelors, you can make about $40k-70k depending on experience. I used Minneapolis because it is has a pretty midrange economy. So, it would also depend on where you live. You can also do a search for jobs and see what they are really offering. Doesn't appear to be as much as I would have guessed!Help me with career advice please?
hey my friends dad and my uncle are architecs and they do not get a low pay. but also not as high. but if you like what you are doing you can have your own business of designing and get more money. You can have your own card website location etc....... and you will be doing something your interested in. GOOD LUCK! : )
Try civil engineering instead. You only need a bachelors (4 year), + 4 years on the job experience, and salary in Ontario Canada averages $50 000 for recent grads in Engineering, and you'll be doing similar work.
