  • I think I'll just stick to drawing my cool pictures. All these architecture videos are pretty discouraging.

  • @kev3145 hell yeah!!! i actually want to become an industrial designer, mainly a car designer. I first looked at architect because thats what there is in my country, or else i can go abroad in the expensive schools of the USA.

  • @Weblas1 nice, congrats! these will help you further should you decide to take architecture, even engineering. all the best.

  • COSTANZA!!

  • @himpllx Jerry to George: "I don't see architecture coming from you."

  • Freakonomics says that prostitutes make more money than architects because there are just way too many architects chasing too few jobs.

  • the most boring thing i ever seee

  • Of course I do want to be an architect, however, I always heard that "gangsters" would be the clients...is that right?

  • @Weblas1 not every major is fit for every one. nothing to feel sad about bc i was also there. if you're still at a pause, i suggest "Architect? A Candid Guide to the Profession" by Roger Lewis. if you're absolutely positive about arch., i'd get a head-start by reading arch. text books. "Architecture Form, Space, and Order" by Francis D.K. Ching is a great start on Amazon.

  • @Weblas1 funny. i got recommended by my arch.teacher to go for engineering. i always ponder why since i've never got an answer. architects don't make a lot of money. don't be fooled into thinking otherwise. senior year of high school we had a meeting and everyone told me architects make a lot. i was excited until i learned it's a fairy tale.

    but if you want to be an architect, i'm not stopping you. i'm also studying archi.

  • Ahh! I wanted to be an architect ever since I was in kindergarten! haha True story! ;) But ever since I saw how little they get paid, I got really dissapointed! :/

  • :49 he's winning at poker

  • They missed out the part where you die a little bit on the inside after receiving your paycheck and you notice that after 10 years of training, you earn less than a janitor or a McDonalds employee. Find another career kids, architecture is full of disappointment and you will never be rich.

  • @western077 true words friend.... ur paycheck cant even convince your girlfriend's parents.... take it from me.. m architect too..

  • man what a great career!! wish i had some math talent :(

  • I ended up here because of a related video from an 'Architects' video, bit of a drastic change.

  • Is it possible to be an architect and not doing any design at all? I know that you will first need to do draft drawing working but is it possible to later do design work without having your own firm?

  • @StewieSeedzOne

    An Architect is all about designing and all the work that goes into designing. It's like saying can someone be a lawyer without representing someone or going to court? What's the point of becoming an Architect if you don't want to design?

  • @DJLCHero69 nono.you got me all wrong. I actually DO want to design but i'm scared that i may be forced to do only draft drawings or boring office jobs. I heard that there are architects that don't design and that's what bothers me

  • @StewieSeedzOne

    I am going to school for architecture. So if I am correct you have to go through a bunch of stuff. A lot of tests and school years and internships before you become a "Licensed Architect" Then you work on up.. I think the Architects that don't design would be like Chief Architects.. The ones who own the firms.. Correct me if I'm wrong..

  • @DJLCHero69 It takes 6 years of college trough which you will wish you were never born and then you have to work under other architect`s supervision for a number of years(I don`t know where are you from to tell but in my country it`s 4 years) and only after that you are a licenced architect. Hope that cheers you up:))

  • @DJLCHero69 I mean you are licensed after 6 years but you can sign your projects only after the other 4 years. So I don`t get misunderstood.

  • whats the anual income of a architect??

  • @rincaster It depends where you work. As of November 8th 2010 the highest average salary of an Architect is in Manhattan NY. At $130,000.

  • im studying to become one right now the drawing is relaxing anf kind of fun so if you have a good imagination, a good artist, and somwhat good at computers this job is good for you

  • average salary for architect is 56k at median

  • @devilteen5 what that means 56/year or what?

  • we architects think 3d, you itnerior designers are mostly decorators...surfaces

  • does it have to take so long to become an architect

  • Besides Architects, Interior Designers also deal with all of what is mentioned in this video, except for the structural aspect of the building which is entirely designed and supervised by architects and engineers. The trend is that architects and interior designers (not decorators) are working together to complement each others' work and knowledge with great results.

  • run away from this college, this ad is more empy than a plastic doll,

  • i wanted to be an architect but after weighing out all the variables, it doesn't seem to be worth it to me.

  • I said to my dad i want to be an architect, he said "you don't want to make money"...i still want to be an architect

  • ` i want to be an architect! this is my dream :)

  • my parents say i should be an architect too cuz im good at drawing and thats what i want to be:)

  • don't be fooled, you'll be stuck sitting in front of the computer drafting ... unless that's what you want to do ... less than 2 % of your time spent in the office are doing design if you're lucky ... the rest of the time are spent doing changes after changes ... it's not worth it, you're better off as an artist.

  • architects don't need to draw anymore, as long as you know how to draft with the computer, your drawings / ideas won't be taken seriously, not even if you were the last architect on earth.

  • then...business it is lol....

  • architecture in the 'real' life is exactly just another business ... so what I was saying is that if anyone thinking they can get a chance to design then this will be a real shock for them when they graduate, just like I did.

  • ..well i wana design....like interior....exterior... or logos...slogans... advertisements...airplanes.... or cars...clothing...roller coaster.....or my other passion accounting/business law..

  • If you want to design, I suggest you do it as a hobby, since most 'design' profession don't make as much as other business-type jobs ... then if you make enough money working business jobs, you can start your own company and design anything you'd like ...

  • you give out awesome advice.... :D ..... I just ...yeah..i'm going to get out of high school and after high school..its like ..where do I go from here...so I want to get at least some possible ideas...using my interests...of what careers would suit my interests.... so thank you :D

  • @davidhalifax stop listening to these idiots. Architects can be businessmen and are the most qualified professionals to be Real estate Developers and Contractors since Architects are schooled in 4 Engineering disciplines aside from Architecture. Majority of those Real Estate Developers and Contractors are actually Architect wannabes who didn't make Architecture school.

  • @101ers77 ... I agree with you about Real Estate Develeopers being wannabe architrects. That's why it's evern more upsetting since these developers don't have a formal traning (but they think they do), and they are the ones making most of the design decisions as refered to a 'client' ... which explains all of the crappy buildings we have in North America ... it's sad that this profession works the other way around if you want to make enough money and be successful.

  • dude thats like exactly my senerio

  • hehe cool i love business ... :D and law....

  • Yeah! Architects rock!

  • hem ummmm, i got a question :D

    my dream is to become an architect (:

    but, does it earns alot of money ? :D

  • yeah sure. i mean you'll earn more than enough. and if you do really good, you'll get a chance to become rich.

  • yay #!

    My mom says i got tallent lol,

    and i love drawing. So architecture will be great for me =]

    How much does it earns par month xD ? :D

  • well i dont know about that

  • Sounds like you gotta' lot of growing up to do before you become an Architect...

  • lol agreed

  • Well, if your good at drawing but suck at math, you can forget architect..

  • I.M. Pei almost dropped out of architecture school b/c his drawing wasn't any good.

    math can be learned as much as drawing.

  • architect rules

  • a typical day??

    this stupid video just says who are the arquitects!! anyway it sucks!
