HACK FACT: Median Hourly Pay for an Architect in 2015 was around 36.50 USD

Thank you for this. I really needed a good explanation for what an architect is responsible for and I wasn't sure if I wanted to dip my toe into architecture because of that.

It's ok, if you are actually a good architect, you don't need clients. You would know how to find ways to get money, build/design/sell your own property and make more money. If you can't do this, it means that you are not that good as an architect and you should start asking yourself why you can't do what I just mentioned. Now that the architect ego is gone, everyone needs an architect. We protect our clients from greedy real estate agents and contractors. The most important part is that we save and help make them money. How? By designing affordable spaces and enforcing quality constructions at a fair cost. Both of this enforces a better product that most importantly SELLS while saving money for our clients. This is why we don't need clients cause we know how to make money naturally. You need to be really really smart and knowledgeable to do this job and that's why not everyone can/should be an architect. You are really just setting yourself up for failure. You can pass the exam, get your license, and call yourself an Architect but in reality are you really one? Practice, practice, practice!

I’ve been seriously considering using my GI Bill to become an architect, at 30 and working as a construction project manager now I think it’s a smooth transition. Thanks for the info!

What is the difference between a Technical architect and an engineer ?

[christopherjaleco]

They basically do one of everything such as filing to DOB and manage construction.

I want to be designer architect or interior designer

This reminds me about ants. Ants is the one animal that work together to build a house for them and they are also strong 😬👍

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I want to be an architect, If you get paid to be an architect and the people you are hiring to be a part of your team need to get paid. Isn't that significantly less money and does an architect get paid a high amount of money?

Hi, my son is a senior and I’m trying to help him figure things out for college. He enjoys drawing so I figure designer architecture would be an option, although mathematics aren’t his best skills. I’m open to suggestions since he doesn’t know what to study or what he likes. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks!

Interesting video, thanks for sharing

[gertondeauxguanzon]

Great video! I'm inspiring to be an architect and this helped me out :D

I have a question though, does an architect help on site? And is the architect the one who hires the people?

I saw the house I am interested in buying. However, the construction was not completed. The current design has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. I would rather change that to 4 bathrooms and use the extra space for something else. What occupation would refigure the interior design and engineering?

[samanthabotell]
