Respect won't pay for my rice 🥲
Comment from : N Z

An architect can get into graphic design, web design, 3D design, game design, anything that has to do with designing virtual spaces, all other sorts of design , product design, even fashion design The only downside is it takes 5 to 7 years to get your degree and the whole process can be rather expensive
Comment from : Ash Djin

going to college to get a degree in architecture is not worth it
Comment from : MADNA LAB

would you recommend getting architecture degree for someone whose goal is to retire early, be financially free at an early age, have time freedom? I want to be an architect because I love the part where you design, plan, and build houses etc but I realize it's not really aligned with my utlimate goal and I don't wanna waste my time, my parents money as well as my energy during college

Could you please do a video on interior design degrees?
Comment from : Kaylee Muyu

I have an undergraduate degree in construction management with a minor in business I want to design and build my own homes Do I really need an architecture degree if I’m already good with the design software?
Comment from : Todd Eatherly

I've wanted to be an architect for a long time but after getting to know what that entails I don't think it world be a good job for me, and this video made it sound like a really bad job I don't really know what i should do now

7 years of mental torture, you might get £15000 a year if you are lucky, if you are really lucky you might get a job as a part time tutor in your university, cheap labour for your mental health issues Better being a manager at ASDA

Was going to take architechture but this video scared me off
Comment from : Silent Cal

Doesnt really know what he's talking aboutbrIts just stuff he researchedbrbrRegular Architecture and Landscape Architecture are not really the same thingbrIts only really hard for math ditz like me Arts people who are really bad in mathbrYou dont really study a lot as in the studying you do in sciencesbrbutbrPROJECTS AND ASSIGNMENTS ARE EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING brits a lot of work in that aspectbrIts more doing (arts), rather than studying and memorizing (crap) -> (sciences)
Comment from : Zoch Buppet

Landscape architecture is a completely different field from architecture There are totally separate course requirements and the license to practice is completely different The is nothing interchangeable about the two careers There is no way an architecture grad is going to walk into a landscape architect's office and get a job Or vice-versa
Comment from : Kurt Salm

The thing people don't think about or talk about enough is that to be successful in pursuing architectural degrees you need to have reasonably good, broad-based abilities in both technical and artsy studies To put it another way, you have to be equally comfortable in a calculus or strength of materials class and art classes Also, get ready for a 2-degree and 6-year commitment to get the education required for licensing to practice in your state (or province in Canada)
Comment from : Kurt Salm

I am obsessed with architecture since my childhood days I worked really hard to qualify the entrances of the top universities of architecture in my country and qualified with grace marks The sad part is that I'm still not opting for architecture because in India, they literally pay architects in peanuts It's honestly disappointing 😔
Comment from : Nandinee Thakre

Really needed to hear this, this video helped me plan out my future career and what I want to do
Comment from : Maurice Kieffer

I think you covered this pretty but the notion that it's demand is based on the economy and if the economy is bad, building projects will be scrapped, I don't completely agree with this Cause there is a housing shortage in America and a general infrastructure and housing shortage in the developing world, and I'm not talking about shiny pieces of art, I'm talking about basic buildings and structures that have become essential to daily living, these are necessary even I'm a rescession And governments, REITs, businesses that deal with corporeal products(retail, education, sports, events, storage, warehousing, factories, etc) need buildings for their businesses to expand and run At a fundamental level, architecture is there for the creation of useful practical stuff, not just to entertain the rich

Found this video that i watched last year when i was in high school and now I’m an architecture student alhamdullah
Comment from : Shahd Mostafa

Idk I live in the inland northwest In Spokane, Washington and I saw lots of architecture jobs in this area when browsing's the other day This city is growing a lot as people flee from the high rent on the coast So they are going to be building a lot here in the next decade and those stats in the video are probably a year or two before covid so I am sure lots of things have opened up I'm on the fence about doing Urban planning or architecture or both, I'm in my early 30s so maybe it's too late for me
Comment from : Al Bonzer

It's a good thing there's actual Architects in the comment section sharing their experiences☺️👍
Comment from : SkyProject191

Architecture is a great hobby, but a dead-end job Choosing this major will leave you with high student debt and if you're lucky enough you'll get 60k/yr (in a big city) entry-level position at an architecture office The industry is indeed full at a higher level so it'll take years if ever for you to succeed If you're good you can choose between working for less with more overtime for a better office designing better architecture, or earning a bit more (still with overtime) designing simple, commercial buildings If you want to design houses, but never own your own place that's the way to go If not, don't get lured by the glamourous image of architects You won't hear none of those positive internet comments in real-life private chats with architects Don't approach this degree as a flexible one because it's not If you'll end up not pursuing an architecture career, you waste 4-6 years of your life Don't waste your time Study something that will let you succeed in your life Sorry guys We should be honest Architecture isn't a good choice
Comment from : Pawel

Currently a second year undergrad choosing my classes I was a bit discouraged by this video, but reading the comments left by actual architects, I can say my faith in what I am working towards has been healed

How useless is an architecture degree?brAccording to their statistics, architecture majors ranked number five overall, but were the worst off when it came to employment, with a 139-percent unemployment rate for recent graduates and a 92-percent unemployment rate for experienced graduates

Hey, may i ask, im from the graphic design path (diploma), can i continue studying architecture in degree??
Comment from : Alvan HL

Wow, where did you find all this data I've spent the last 6 months trying to find information on architecture but I just have to constantly look around, it's a job never done What site did you use to find the info present on 1:25
Comment from : Avocado babys

Make houses out of dirt! A lot of jobs for them now!
Comment from : Charley Jr Iriarte

Ideally what you need is to have a good paying job flexible enough to allow you to practice Architecture on the side Or to come from money

I have a BSc in architecture and am moving my career towards finance bc I have bills to pay however I do appreciate the profession it’s just not worth the effort you have to put in imo

I want study this major but it really hard to get into it here in my country :(

Comment from : Brandon Lee Sanders

Architecture is worse than hell you will work extremely hard for 4-5 years in architecture school Yes you will work harder than an engineering student according to statistics Do not fool yourself into thinking that architecture is easy because it is not technically a stem major
Comment from : Doctor Steve

not flexible? architects can do a lot of other things aside from architectural design they are indeed flexible:br1 AutoCAD educatorbr2 interior designerbr3 acoustic specialistbr4 construction qa/qcbr5 project managerbr6 draftsmanbr7 landscape designerbr8 structural designer (specifically for up to 3- storey)br9 cost estimatorbr10 forensic architectbr11 construction managerbr12 tendering contracts and bids
Comment from : Megazoid2016

Here's the rub, even if you get into the field and get a good job, the vast majority of actual projects that most firms do to pay the bills is crap Costcos, strip malls, warehouses, industrial parks, tract houses, generic hotels etc And no, most clients are not looking for some great new vision, they want what's cheapest to build, a box Really only a handful of firms are doing really interesting work And they are even harder to get into About as easy as becoming a star in Hollywood with much less pay

Sometimes 20/21 visionbrbrIn the end does one become a Architect to express a humanity or is it, a humanity seeking expression in Architecture ? brIt is time, in the end, we must all face the facts Do we participate in a promise of debit or a promise of a shared humanity?brAcalls on us to hope Bcalls on us to hope I'm not talking about blind optimism here — the almost willful ignorance that thinks underpaid employment will go away if we just don't talk about it, or the pandemic crisis will solve itself if we just ignore the Annual leave deductions No, I'm talking about something more substantial It's the lunchtime hope of the office gathering around a microwave singing Christmas carols; the hope of Hungarian and Italian immigrants from Europe setting out for distant shores; the hope of young new RIBAs bravely patrolling the Airport constuction site; the hope of the young modelmaker who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny architecture grad from Budapest, with a Hungarian name who believes that Hong Kong has a place for her, too Hope in the face of difficulty Hope in the face of uncertainty The hope brbra personal creative nonfiction 20/20 Vision

No Oh no
Comment from : D Cotai

I am an architectural designer I For anyone considering architecture I find this video negative and make architecture sound like a very limiting profession People that have an architectural degree can make their way into many different career paths outside of architecture!
Comment from : Maria Eleanora Rodriguez

It’s called archiTorture for a reason On a general note, it’s not worth the time, money For the same input you can become an engineer, lawyer or dentist I would even say those paths are easier and generate a lot more wealth than an architect Better roi
Comment from : mango 305

Architecture can very well be replaced by AI The bulk of the architect is working on somewhat repetitive buildings (eg apartment), these buildings can be automated through machine learning and parametric design Meaning that most of the architects will lose their job, except for some elites that actually do creative stuff in the field
Comment from : Zeke Zhang

The job openings bit definitely is a funky thing It's highly cyclical with the market (as mentioned), and there are multiple markets (like residential is gang busters right now, or I do public work which is fairly recession proof) There's also a fairly large generational gap- the Great Recession of '08 basically decimated the industry, so there's a whole missing class of people with 5-15 years of experience at this point Basically, if you get a job and can get 3-5 years experience in (about the time you'll be getting licensed), you're pretty much set in the industry and can write your own ticketbrbrSide note- landscape architecture is a different degree entirely They get a B Landscape Arch or M Landscape Arch, and they have a separate license from architects The field itself is basically halfway between a conventional architect and an urban planner (which is a whole other category on top of things)
Comment from : Jan Meyen

The short answer: No!brbrbrOk, the longER answer: brUndergrad Degree: Maybe…?brGraduate degree or career: NO!
Comment from : Colin

From what I can tell its a very hard road but if you become experienced, licensed, as long as the housing market remains like this, (a little doubtful in 6 years) you will be honestly GODLIKE Tier My dad works in residential construction and every millennial millionaire wants an architect to design their new home to "one up the Joneses" If you became famous you would be able to name your price
Comment from : HeavyMetal 2000

If you want to be an architect, you need a degree - simple as that If you don't, it's very hard to get registered or escape drafting rolesbrbrShane's not wrong, the industry is very much full To get in you're probably going to be filling in a vacancy and networking is keybrbrIf you want to approach architecture 'safely', consider combining it with a programming background The industry is fast approaching a mainstream computation demand, and there will be a shortage in data/computer scientists in the industry
Comment from : Aussie BIM Guru

5:44 Architecture degree is “highly respected”? Don’t fool yourself Maybe around your dinner table But most clients and developers will only hire you to get them what THEY want, and how they want it They need you to get them the permits so their contractor does not screw them up too much Beyond that, and behind your back, they’ll label you “useless” more often than not And the cotractors? They will try to cut corners wherever they can, so you will have to stay alert all the time, 24/7 Because if the building leaks, cracks, or God forbid, falls down, you’ll be in the first bunch dragged to the courts!
Comment from : padellina

One question, so I want to asking if you aren't good drawing this degree not is for you ? Or if is very stressed
Comment from : Johanna Patiño

You will succeed in Architecture if it is your calling It is very long You won’t get stuck, but flexibility persistence and toughness is important Many great architects “fail” many times, but learn and return It’s perfect for the truly Independant multidisciplinary mind, like philosophy but more artistic The matrix wasn’t created by an architect for nothing Computing is glorious in architecture
Comment from : ERICKSONG ARCHITECTS

I know a lot of unemployed architect's, all graduated within the last 5 years There are no architect jobs out there
Comment from : Unknown

Architecture and civil should be combined into one degree for people who want extra flexibility
Comment from : Mohammed Al-Husseini

I'm an architect and I will say what you said is true in a way but it depends on where one Is located By the way you don't need to work for an employer you can be an entrepreneur I know an architect who earns way more than an engineerit's actually not the degree but the person- how good are your skills? Computer science they say is good but I know people who studied it and don't have a job, some work in laundry shops If your not passionate about something you won't be outstanding in that and if your not outstanding you won't be unique and if your not unique you will be common and there won't be a reason to pay u high
Comment from : Omah Dessy

I wanted to do Architecture throughout most of my life but 4 months till I go to college and I feel doubt I plan to switch my major to Computer Engineering due to the higher demand, better salary, and flexibility Does anyone have advice or can share experience as an architect student or worker
Comment from : BNut

I went to college for architecture, when I got out there was no job market for it (2010 financial crisis) I went back to school for business and I have been working on that area ever since I miss architecture, though I agree with everything you said!
Comment from : Traveling Ana

A YouTube channel is worth it
Comment from : Unforgatble Games

On the flipside - currently the firms I've been talking to have been having a shortage of architects - a lot of us end up working overtime I guess the downside is less that there isn't enough jobs but more so of the long hours when there's too much work (but maybe it's because the job market is different in Canada)

Comment from : Jade Danielle

What do you think about civil engineers
Comment from : Seneen Yassin

I have UK BA degree in Architecture and all I can say - don't enter this field if you are not ready to work loads of unpaid overtime without getting this time back in holidays Also salary in UK is a joke (entry level is maybe £20'000 if you are lucky) RIBA (governing body) is spineless and don't even consider to tackle exploitation in the industry making lower level architectural assistants to do jobs that are way above their education level to save money for office
Comment from : Skin Deep Talks

The salary is terrible for the amount of schooling and hours worked
Comment from : Kevin Johnston

I want to pushback a bit on what you said about architecture not being flexible You can actually do so much with an architecture degree: interior design, landscape architecture, anything in construction really (might need some practicing hours before your the boss but you get the point), civil engineering (with more classes), industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, movie set design, art, stage design, and so on Just in case anyone here thinks you can only do just architecture(: brNot hating on the video at all - love the video Shane((: Thank you for sharing!

Comment from : Kiilee Tsoku

Architecture has tons of transferable skills Price calculation, public speaking, presenting, writing, selling an idea, Mathematics, basic engineering, critical problems solving, designing, excbrbrPlus if you can get through a competitive architecture school you can for sure do a standard job in business Tbh most employers would be better off Hiring an architect than a person with a business degree because most architects actually know what it means to work hard
Comment from : WKIV_WKIV

Do one about graphic design pls
Comment from : Sophie macquet

this degree can be very flexible in combination with an mba (project controlling) but you can also do an specialization for civil engineering in some countries (austria foreg)bryou can also become a designer, for eg yachts/cars, what ever (just need the talent)bryou can also work anywhere in the world and it will mostly be recognized brbrthe worst case is just ending up in an underpaid office and not learning new skills
Comment from : LF Yachts

I wanted to do Environmental design/ Architecture is it a waste of time?😬🙈
Comment from : Tilly

Oh I know the costs, buying a license for sketchup as a student would cost $170-200 for 1 year, along with AutoCAD and other software costing $$$, the supplies needed for the models are a lot

It doesn’t seem to be that meaningful in India though You gotta put in the long hours Some passionate will like it But I’m the end you don’t earn big bucks, no time for family and fun You just hustle at work all day long

Comment from : MeNez Architecture

I am in my final semester in graduate school for architecture and for the most part you are correct in your video The only thing wrong is the title of “architect” in your video You are technically not an architect until you pass all of your ARE exams and complete your NCARB hours Also, the majority of the states in the US require a Masters degree to take the ARE tests to become an architect Unfortunately, one is not considered an architect right out of college, nor after graduate school Great video though!

I studied Architecture, thank you so much for doing this video!
Comment from : Thara Messeroux

I am an architect, and I love how you analyzed the career, and so much of it is true It will also be helpful if you can make a video on how to navigate career path for someone who has done bachelor's It has been tough to get a job and was thinking of master's but very confused about which specialization to choose Want to take a sensible and calculated decision instead of blindly follow interest

It's hard It takes a long time You'll hear that architects don't earn a lot of money, but earn just enough to live comfortably, and it's true (Unless you invest in real estate)brbrThere are also architects that are very good at marketing, business savvy and smart They'll earn more, have lots of connections but also work harder brbrArchitecture is a job that requires long hours, patience, and good communication skills But, the ones that love architecture, are passionate at the profession, will love it til the very end brbrMy mentor is reaching 80 and is still climbing up and down roofs and inspecting sites, he'll retire when he dies, he said This is pretty common Another architect I knew continued to work through chemo therapy until he passed away earlier this year These guys really love architecture brbrDon't take the course if you're not passionate about it It's not a job you take for the money
