  • im studying architecture... i wanna die - -

  • This is what I call an ambitious woman.

  • only people that is stubborn and crazy enough to work in this depressing profession should choose architecture. like me. so just do it and enjoy life. :)

  • This is pointless and stupid was there any point of making this video.

  • It's true, LEED IS a waste of time and money.

  • You crushed my hopes and dreams.

  • @heloisacom follow your dreams. everyone should ;)

  • its true that architect doesn't make money at the first place..

  • URGGHHH STEPHEN HAWKING PINK SHIRT GOAT FUCKER BITCH! HOPE A BRIDGE COLLAPSES ON YOU!

  • You should probably avoid 3D animation as well.

  • These things are supposed to be funny. They're more for people already in the profession or at least studying it...an inside joke sort of thing.

  • Unless youre a doctor or porn star, every job sucks for wages just now. Also I'm fucking loving uni. Not going to lie, you WILL hate it if you don't have a strong passion for architecture. But if you're retarded enough to study it just cause you had a slight interest in buildings, then you're stupid and kind of deserve to hate your job... But for all you out there that truly enjoy the subject, don't let this video put you off. If you have the passion then you'll be a great architect .

  • In this video: Failed architects are mad

  • this makes me sad :(

  • I'm an architecture student now and tbh, yeah it's extremely stressful most of the times and you get shitted on by professors during crits often times too but in the end I'm still god damn proud of my work when I'm finished. It's really a profession that people should pursue if they are 100% passionate about it.IArch isn't for everyone, lol half of my studio dropped out in 2 years. ;o

  • I think that if you're studying architecture, you definitely shouldn't be doing it for the money or for the guarantee of an immediate job. Only study architecture if that is what you are 100% passionate about and willing to dedicate your life to the next several years...

  • GREAT ADVISE COMING FROM A FUCKING YOUTUBE ANIMATOR!!! MEDIOCRE FUCK!

  • This movie is so skeptical. 99,5% of architects dont really design amazing buildings etc. But the famous starchitects don't really work alone either. With big projects there might be 5 or more architects in a team along with lots of engineers, designers and all sort of people. Some architects might want to do research, some teach. If you are good enough and work hard for the 7 years of your course, you will get some sort of job, unless the economy dies. But if the economy dies, all jobs will die

  • Well look on the bright side: according to this video, at least some architects are at least good at insulting aspiring architects and making sure they don't want to join the profession.

  • @Mozartmostly, no i dont speak as anything. i never said it is something automatically that an architect gets a job right away, obviously the person has to find one... im not stupid, to start with 30-40 a year isnt bad.. and why u asking my age? im old enough.. i am majoring in architecture.. my first year, but im a junior. yea its obviously hard. no major is easy. u dont become a doctor in 2 days. it takes 6-8 years. same with lawyer.

  • well.. that's encouraging!

  • what a ~@#~!@$~!@#

  • @controversyking That only really applies to CAREERs where TOO MUCH weighs against you-age,resposibilities,expens­es and yes,DEBT. Sometimes a VOCATION doest just add up as a MEANS OF SUPPORT,but your own IDENTITY (who you are).

  • Too much truth

  • AutoCAD is brilliant!

  • It doesnt matter how OLD you are,if a DREAM CAREER is a PASSION,you ll follow it no matter what.

  • Brad Pitt says so....har har

  • my gf studies arcitecture and EVERY SINGLE thing the guy sais is 100% true people.. I guarantee... she got depressed when she saw this.. cause it is damn true...

  • 50 gallons of coffee? so what!? :P

  • this is hysterical.......

    

  • lol. I think hes just bitter because he lives in a box

  • I'm sorry to say that this movie is brutally honest.

  • I don't think the lady is listening.

  • Love the PHD in mathmatics vid I hope I'm as miserble as these people when I start my grad program

  • My father (an architect) told me 'painters a bunch of fanatics that live in la la land, they live a poor life and they die on canvas' . . . I wish I had the b*lls to continue on with my passion . . . . instead, I became . . .

    The point is, if you really love something, architecture, medical profession, garbage collecting . . . go for gold!

  • But seriously, this is kinda exaggerating. Architects start off $30,000-40,000 a year. So if your single it's good. Teachers make that much. And you can also start by making houses. That's an easy and quick way to pump up your portfolio and experience. And location matters a lot.

  • @icynezz you speak as if architect students are garanteed a job worth 30,000-40,000 a year in the field. They have to find one and earn one. Nothing is giving just becaue you went to school. You are naive. You are the girl in this video. How old are you ? Not to be mean, sorry if I offend in advance. peace my friend.

  • Lmfao.. I'm just starting school in 2 months. Architectureee.. Yes it's crazy and yet I still want to become an architect. Hopefully I'll get a decent internship place. And you could always try abroad..but i've heard the rumors, and I'm gonna do it. I'm ready.

  • According to these cartoons, every single profession is utterly depressing and you will have no hope of getting into the course let alone having a meaningful and satisfying career.

  • ya all architects live in Falling water and taliesin west esque houses duhh didnt you know that???

  • :( "Be an Architect" my dream since my 8 years old (now 20). Me vrs my Family-World-friends on this desicion. could be worse? :( a future without money and without work? answers please!

  • @josvasq11  if you really like to be an architect then , show em your work ! convince them .

  • @josvasq11 follow your dream ..im 20 too and i didnt and did take opportunities people disagreed on andd im having a blast

  • I'm an engineer, but I will admit that the girls in the architecture programs are generally a lot hotter than the engineering college lol

  • I'm going on my 3rd year for architecture and i can say all the school related comments in the video are pretty spot on...... I'mma kill myself..lol

  • how can this guy afford formal clothes?

  • 2nd year architect here. really not sure if i should carry on tbh

  • @abSURDub its too late to quiet now keeping going i feel u hahah

  • @moee12 Haha yeh ill push it through the degree. not sure if its worth going back for the part 2 tho. grim

  • @abSURDub I just completed my final crit for the semester i never thought idd finish it... :)

  • I worked for a major Silicon Valley microprocessor company an IT wireless support guy. Inside their mask design group, these people were glued to their UNIX workstations AutoCAD'ing processor circuits all the damn time. Weekends. They even requested 3 out of 4 fluorescent light tubes be removed from each light box to make it dim like a cave. These people made 60K a year average, but had NO life whatsover.

  • Okay, but every job sucks. might as well do something you are passionate about.

  • Comment removed

  • could u be any more negative?...

  • Wow. I wanted to be an architect, if only to make the ordinary offices and apartments and normal life look pure, simple, clean or organic,

    to define the very fabric of the environment around us to the needs of society,

    to be a part of what humanity is defining itself and it's habitat as;

    structure by structure, brick by brick, even if it gets me nowhere.

    Now I don't. This stiff animation scares me shitless.

  • So I don't want to become an architect anymore

  • Ok, so I lived in a LEED designed building- the contractor still made completely irrational choices for the building that are clearly being dictated by an contractor clearly choices out of terror of a psychotic out of control legal system. 1. The number one feature on the building is it's security, with huge heavy steel doors-obviousy so that if any antagonistic human behavior hypothetically took place,the building co would be protected from lawsuits 2. Hallways that have absolutely no soundpro

  • Most architects are just poor wankers wasting most of their time on those abortive tasks. Right, I am an architect too.

  • architecture school sure is fun!

  • couldnt be truer!

  • true true

  • lol so true. but it seems so much worse when its all laid out so candidly in a cartoon :)

  • Am I the only one who wants to punch the girl?

  • did his nipples put any one else off the whole crazy thing... weird?

  • @TheEmpireofclay - buttons! :)

    

  • r u fuckin kiddin me?! hahahaha

  • That's why I'm chosing Architecture and ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

  • hahaha, this video changed my life forever, love it!!

  • LOL this girl is soooooo idiotic

  • absolutely true!

  • Just pursuit your dreams....

  • I'm not planning to be an architect, but now I'm in despair!

  • I actually had to stop watching 2mins in, as the accuracy was utterly depressing.

  • when he said you will only be able to look at the internet to only look at products.. I thought he was gonna say : "you will only be able to look at the internet to watch porn." :/

  • Hahaha that was hilarious!!!

  • im a Jr in highschool. ive been thinking for sooo long about what i wanted to be. i finally was happy because i decided i wanted to be an architect. this kills everything :'(

  • LMAO!!!! She doesn't even listen to what he is saying!!! LOL!!!

    But the BEST line is, "It can't be built because of gravity"!!!!

  • LMAO!!!! She doesn't even listen to what he is saying!!! LOL!!!

  • I just dropped out from studying BA Architecture in London. It has seriously been the best decision of my life.

  • @biscuitflavour3000 that is just too reassuring really. i'm thinking i might do the same

  • i love how bitter all of these xtranormal videos are!

  • Its so true!!!!!!

  • oh god! im going down a path to depression, poverty, drugs and self destruction.

    oh and fuck frank gehry, i dislike his buildings. especially that one that looks like it got kicked in the waist.

  • LOOOOOLLLL!!!! So true. I know that people may think that this video is an exageration but it truly is not. I graduated a year ago with a Bachelor of Architecture degree and everything this video says is true. Everything he said is true except that in California there are 9 licensing exams instead of 7. I laughed really hard... and then I almost cried.

  • LOL Architects always have wet dream Ideas that are nearly impossible to actually implement. Oh well, someone has to try so don't take this to heart, be an architect if thats what you want. Green design is not a waste at all wtf are you talking about?

  • A clear battle between a Pessimistic and Optimistic Architect :D

  • if this is really what it's like, why is anyone even doing this?

  • @Oz4theWorld being an architect isnt so bad but theres too many of them is the point of the video

  • I'll be studying Architecture this coming school year. what shall I do? :)

  • @rvinvideo If you honest and truly want to be an architect, just stick in there. It's a tough program, but it's worth it if you're going to be doing something you enjoy. Expect long hours in the studio, all nighters, and working to the last minute to get things done. Then having to present having not had any sleep in over 50 hours.

    There's a book called "Time Management for Architect Students." Read it before you don't have any time to.

  • @IbeLangley Can you tell me who wrote that book?

  • 'at least they knew what job they were getting into' - what, thievery?! doubt freshmen finance majors(or any other college freshmen) had a clue about the real world after college, but they did it because they heard that's where the money is, so from day 1 that's the goal - get the most money regardless of the means. what they don't get is if you milk the cows without feeding them, they die & eventually so will you. if it weren't for arch, etc, we'd all still be living in caves, but traders...

  • @NotYourNumberSix aren't we going back to the cave? we now try to design a super sustainable green building which use a recycle material. It sound like cave to me which I do like to live in. ^_^

  • 'traders of nothing make millions' - because they can! i think it's outrageous too that the very people putting us in a depression are completely unaffected but at least they knew what job they were getting into.

  • It is sooooo true. LOL  "You are an idiot, I want to kill myself every day."

  • hey it's satire ... architects poking fun at themselves. there are currently 180,000 unemployed, but, design schools keep cranking them out?! call this a p.s.a. to let everyone else know it's not the glamourous life you might have thought, (not unlike that of airline pilots today) underpaid & overworked, but most do it because they love the job regardless of the underappreciation & couldn't dream of doing anything else. the bigger question is why traders of nothing make millions.

  • boo-hoo, poor old tortured repressed genius artistic architects. why on earth would anyone not research what a job is like before enroling on a lengthy course?

  • @schlisvaken shut your mouth. what are you some fuckwad lawyer profiting from peoples misfortune?

  • LEED is a waste of time. I live in a LEED gold building and each two room apartment has its own full size heater....how is that efficient?

  • Ok, not entirely true. This usually only applies of you work for starchitects and/or in really big firms.

  • "... they will make you change a single wall's location 20 times by 2 inches ... " only to approve what you originally designed (after 18 months min. of pure torturous life & death deliberations) ... righteous!

  • THIS GUY IS JOKES A BIT HARSH BUT JOKES

  • Been almost a year in this line of study and still couldn't answer this question, "Why am I studying to become a fucking architect?"

  • This is right on. My brother got his master in arch, then worked for various firms doing the grunt shit and being treated like a secretary and paid like a janitor. He's now working at a retail store and owes 90k+ in loans for a worthless degree.

  • so pessimistic, am i the only person that likes being an architect?

  • @Aongo89 Oh yeah its cool, but school was hell.

  • @Aongo89 ... I got out of architecture after 5 years in this FUN career ...

  • very good just like some of the videos on my ChanL

  • BRILLIANT this is my life!!!!!

  • BRILLIANT

  • Exactly why I stopped pursuing an architecture career.

  • This is it! This is so true! 

  • I was like the guy and still studied this piss-poor-no-future profession. Time to invest on a 9mm retirement plan.

  • Jesus christ, so many jumpcuts.

  • no not 6 months from becoming a architect... 6 months from graduating. it will be between 3 to 12 years until you pass the exams and then you will be an architect.

    go back get your masters in construction management and then enjoy life.

    d

  • @aspenjaz1 So true.

  • Comment removed

  • My boyfriend is going for his masters in architecture. He does have to go through hell to reach his dream but in the end its all worth it :) I love you Ronnie! Keep up the design excellence work =D

  • So fucking true :'(

  • Comment removed

  • Steven Hawking's theory of architecture cant go wrong.

  • Oohhh gosh what an encouraging video for the future architects!!!!!!Jesus I'm in first year of architecture and this kinda frickin me out!!! :O hihihihihi..... Sould I change my mind perhaps and study sth else??? _never_

  • @a8anasia1992 Stay in architecture if you can live with regret and disappointment.

  • @tgold1968 well, I think I will stay, because I dont use to live my dreams..I know things gonna be hard but i am willing to try!(at least I am way smarter than the cartoon girl that lives in a utopia:D)

  • Comment removed

  • @tgold1968 (leave* sorry for my english )

  • So funny! What about becoming a contractor or builder? They build houses and earn more money perhaps....

  • @apriltime2008 Building houses? Where is there demand? Financing for home owners? Not here in the U.S.

  • b'cus i worked as a drafter 1st, then went 2 school, i had more of a reality check, but this is so funny & close 2 true!!!!! lmao

  • Bitch, do u even listening what he telling you???

  • LEED projects are a waste of time!

  • Architect and Doctor playing golf:

    Architect: I don't get it. Why do you guys make so much money?

    Doctor:  We go to school for years longer than most people.

    A: So do we.

    D: We have to intern for years, working long hours and at low wages.

    A: So do we.

    D: We have to study long hours and pass these ridiculous exams to get licensed.

    A: So do we.

    D: Well, when we make mistakes people die.

    A: Well yeah ONE AT A TIME!

  • That is good

  • @dnha14 I don't understand the last line that the architect says. Can somebody explain it to me please?

  • @jebus733 "I need to do some stair sections and contemplate the best way to kill myself" (Stair sections are very tedious and not really a creative design phase of architecture, thus he wants to kill himself! lol)

  • @jebus733 If a doctor screws up, he might kill one person. If an architect screws up, he can kill many people.

  • I've been practicing architecture for 26 years and this is by far the most hilarious thing I have ever seen online... Exaggerated yes, but the script was obviously written by people in our profession because all the things the guys says are SO spot on... LOVED it and it made me laugh so hard I cried... Hang in there, architects!

  • @9547dk1 so do you earn alot?

  • @9547dk1 hey sir wait a minute. I am 17 and I am thinking of diving in the architectural world.

    but after seeing this i am having SOOOO much second thoughts. Do you have anything positive to say on the job? Or ....

  • @2Garyable well go to univerisity its fun and you will get a lot of knowledge and experience, but after school is over, you won't be at the top so you have to make your way to the top good luck

  • @2Garyable Just follow your heart and do whatever you think is good for you. Do not listen to anyone on your way, because it's your and only your way :)

  • SOOOOOO TRUEEEE!!!

  • This is dead balls on accurate and describes my entire 20 year career as an Architect. Thanks, it's nice to hear someone else say it, I'm so tired of telling this story to me friends and family.

  • lololoololoolololollol

    

  • 100% True.Unfortunately i have the same experience as the guy in the video.Total waste of time and large amount of money.

  • This is beilliant. Very accurate, and I regret to say I'm in the profession. ;)

  • @Ranger4564 bRilliant, not bEillant. :/

    I hate IE... no spell check, no features, no advantage. :/

  • LMFAO!

  • This is so true! People just don't understand when we tell them they can't do stuff!  We went to school and learnt, cried, sweated and lost a whole boatload of sleep to make less than a high school drop out!

  • @bluegirl3331712 the salary part isn't true, if it is for you, I'm really sad for you

  • @bluegirl3331712 the salary part isn't true at least in Canada, if it's your case, I'm really sad for you

  • ths is true bt majorly sad

  • 99.9999%  of architects are design dreaming - but living a real nightmare.

  • This is soooo true

  • Brilliant script though!!!

  • So Architects are being butt-fucked by clients\teachers\society not only in my Cunt-ry. How unexpected! Anyway, the animation is not perfect, so clearly this was made by an architect trying to go the Pixar\CG way.

  • six months short of becoming an architect... dammit!

  • I can't wait for the girl to join the architecture line! I'd love to see her reaction then... Have fun~ 'till then I still have more CAD drawings to do, sigh~ =(

  • this makes me want to cry

  • This is epic :D

  • "Your designs will be stupid, your professors will tell you as much and make you cry during your reviews for being a complete and total idiot" haha so true

  • ironically as i listened and agreed to that i was drawing stair sections. However I do not wish to killy myself...the engineer on the other hand. His days are fucking numbered!!!!

  • This is beyond hilarious! I am currently working on a masters in interior architecture and I can truly relate to this video. Even our field has to deal with similar problems as architects. I'm not saying that it will be like this for everyone, but the current situation for most right now is to feel this way. Thank you for the stress relief laugh. Gotta head back to my floor plans now.

  • well...... at least the girl would be happier than the dude......... she has a dream...... although she's stupid....... "cause brad pitt said so.." xD but hey, if u like something alot.... it might be worthit to go through all of that.....beats sitting behind a desk contemplating about killing themselves.....

  • "You are a complete and total idiot and should never reproduce" xD

  • Try to be an architect in Romania:)) this clip is so Romania like:)) sad, but true..

  • Nice one!

  • She's deaf.
