Yeah I kept told by parents that it will be difficult stuff and I need to work a lot.
Well, I like drawing so it wouldn't be so much of a pain for me, I hope. Yet, I need to learn too... A lot of stuff.
Look. I wanted to be an archetict too. I like designing. I like drawing. And so do you, right? So why not?
When I started to seriously consider studying to become an archetict, I looked at a number of sources concerning it.
With every article, every site I read, the more discouraged I became, and my hopes quickly diminished.
I'm not trying to discourage you here, but if you must know:
- 2+ years experience of C++
- Years of experience in many programming and modelling tools
- A degree in Visual Arts (you shouldn't have trouble with that)
- 5 or more years studying
- A tough computer-based test that takes a few months to complete (forgot name)
If you succeed:
- Varying salary, based on your career's success, can be very high
- Attend meetings about 3-4 times a week
- Have little time for yourself and personal life
- Must incorporate client's wants, not your wants. You need to recognize their needs and make something based on that (bummer)
- Make more calculations and feasible designs rather than be creative
If you're determined and devoted to buildings, go for it. It's an honorable job.
