I was an licensed architect in UK and now I am a freelance web developer, test prep tutor and portrait painter. To be honest, if you like to stay in the office 10-12 hours a day and running project, architect is for you. I am a free spirit and I cannot stay in the meetings for too long. Studying in school is fun, but working in an office as an employed architect is a different story.

[@Moochers]

Hey! Thanks for you point of view! I feel the same way sometimes as well. Some projects are fun, but the business side of architecture is what I least prefer about the career. I mean the back and forth with the engineers via email, and meetings, and all that stuff. I also enjoy the schematic phase over the other ones as well so when I'm doing CD's, I tend to feel my days drag on....

That's nice and all, until rent's due, bills flood your mailbox or children apprear in the picture. There's no ifs and buts up to a point of decency. It's a hell to get to the point where you can work as an architect and it's absolutely normal to expect a certain return on your investment. Unfortunately, that return never comes (at least in my experience). Add to that the crap that most of us work on ( 0 professional fulfillment) and it seals it. I'd not recommend it to my worst enemy.

[@jontied93]

One of your first points is about continuing learning about different spaces. Its my understanding after being in the industry for the last 3 years that is highly dependent on the firm you work for, likely you will learn about 2-3 areas of design. For instance, I work for a firm that does Churches and Schools, those are the primary things that we work on, beyond that every now and then we will work on a bank. However beyond that we do not work on other styles or areas of design. And this is primarily because of marketing. It is hard for a company to spread themselves out over a plethora of areas and styles, this is not productive for the company either. If you spend all your time spreading what you are learning about out over a multitude of subjects you won't be able to become proficient in one of them - thats just bad business.

[@krunchykarim]

[@Discoveryquest]

I am proud to have the title Architect. A Chinese mentor in school cautioned us to not enter the profession unless that was the only thing you could do and be happy in life. For most of your life you will drive an older car, live in a smaller house, go through divorces and maybe lose your children, while engineers who have followed their focused path make twice as much. Architects are the last generalist to knowing something about everything and a lot about some things such as protecting life and property, human behavior, aesthetics and value.

Two points: Time. Wright wrote in the late 1800s (no kidding, he lived a long time) that it takes 10 years after school before anyone can "touch the belt of an architect". I graduated in 1979 so in my experience 10 was just about right so maybe it's closer to 12 today. This is because the complexity of the job cannot be taught, it must be experienced. Mistakes have to be made and worked through to completion. Dodging bullets is how architects learn. Fear is a powerful motivator. At around a decade of working in the real world, there will be an awakening, or perhaps you might call it an epiphany, at which point you will see the planets align and the whole 15 or so years will suddenly make sense. You will still have lots to learn but you won't be lost all the time. You will have command of a complex/comprehensive professional skill set that you can rely on in any situation. You won't be afraid anymore. You will be an architect. Money. This is the difficult part. Architecture is a "fee for service" business. The fees are fixed professional based on a market rate percentage of the cost of construction. This means that if you screw the pooch and go over budget, you ( or your employer) have to eat it. The way firms manage this is by over tasking the staff, working lots of overtime and then bringing in reinforcements at the end of the project. Not optimal for the worker bees but it seems to be the nature of the profession. Finally, architecture is a "feast/famine" business. When people are building (like now) there will be lots of opportunity, when they are not building (like the next year or two)you will have to have a fallback source of income, or live off of your savings...or move in with your parents:-) good luck you future architects!

As long as you find joys in it, you'll be fine. Whether you want to pursuit it for the rest of your life or not, that time and process are still a treasure- for sure :). So dive in and find your answer!

Yeah I'm in 6th grade, but I'm, really into being a architect!

[@melginger3794]

Excellent. Thank you!

That's the Soumaya museum in Polanco, Mexico City, in the thumbnail!

[@Moochers]

Yes! Have you been?

[@Ka.al_]

thank you i learned from you so much

[@PoolGyall5441]

Ill be honest I found my spark in the sims but that little spark has consumed me I'm obsessed with houses whenever I see a house I always imagine how I can do so much better or how the architect was not passionate I soon started doing some research and being an architect is literally what I want to do in life I don't mind doing projects or sitting in meeting but all I know is I want go to college move to LA and let life take it from there

[@iadtag1853]

I totally agree with "Good at everything, Master of none."

[@aliasoma]

For those questioning a career in architecture, please consider speaking with a school counselor for career testing in addition to speaking with actual architects. The reason I am suggesting this is because they can help with exploring the variety of ways in which any particular degree can be applied.

[@akrammaad7609]

Great video, here is a suggestion for upcoming videos : -how is it like to work in an architectural firm and what are your tasks as an architect or as intern ?

[@Moochers]

Thanks for your suggestions! I already have your first suggestion in my to-do list but I'll try to incorporate your second suggestion in there somewhere. Thanks again!

[@akrammaad7609]

@@Moochers That would be awesome, especially if you include like the reports you have to write and daily tasks you do. Good luck with your Channel

Btw I love your content! Keep it up 💪

[@saramoooon]

I’m very interested in architecture I think it’s a very beautiful major/career. I’m thinking about changing majors but I’m still trying to figure if architecture is for me or not. Honesty I really wanted to major in architecture before I started college but the opportunity to major in it was very difficult, now it is a bit easier than before.

[@sarahharoon8340]

Yes omg same. I do media studies and im wondering wether to change course to architecture.

[@saramoooon]

@@sarahharoon8340 i know it's an exhausting major but if you adore creativity and art in every way you would love it! At least i know i will ;)

[@marcososa1986]

you forgot to mention: paying is ok (not the best), very long working hours, and death is not an excuse for not to meet deadlines 😂

[@honeycheesepotatochips4008]

As an architect, the simple answer is NO! Passion can only take you so far before the reality crushes upon you.

[@NW_AB12]

Im an artist and im good at math, is architecture is ok to me?

[@roseanne2543]

Omfg really? Is it really that bad?? Wat other jobs/courses would u recommend? Is Mechanical engineering good?

[@veronicaluwisha9991]

Thankyou for your brutal honesty

[@formula1340]

Don't know if this is also what it feels in other industry in terms of practicality. But yeah, i agree with this one. It feels like i'm sacrificing too much for architecture for a little reward especially if you are not really that passionate like me. Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the designing part, but the stress and time it takes is not really worth, not to mention the measly pay. I earn more in trading than that shitty pay.

[@roseanne2543]

@@formula1340 thank u for sharing ur experience! Glad I didn't pick architecture 😭 at first i was interested and im an artsy person but after a lot of research about the job and people's experience, i decided not to go with it. I just felt like I won't survive in architecture school and it'll not be worth it😔

[@papihuey]

Although I love designing architectures but I have a lot of cons in this career.

[@Moochers]

Me too. I made a whole video on them. What are some of yours?

[@architectio]

I think it is something you can only truely achieve if you really like the whole designing process.

[@cd0u50c9]

Is it a good career? I'll keep it short and simple for those that are still on the fence - no it is not. It's not worth it.

[@gilbertb6886]

Thanks this video basically describes me as a person I've been attracted to become an architect but didn't yet understood what it meant now I realise why I was so attracted to it I'm a jack of all trades but master of none thanks for all your help!

[@caribaez5711]

I like interior design and architecture

[@musicartmania4021]

It's really very informative and interesting.. Thanks

[@ayhambarghooth556]

Thank u so much man

[@akokocreative.studio]

What about Architecture in comparison to other fields? For example arguably, building surveyors often can do a lot of less complicated buildings that most basic architects end up doing under employment anyway, but the investment in terms of education and time is much less...

[@bmbmunoz2]

at that points its your call. if you want to learn and be a more proficient designer go the architecture route, but if you don't care about design all that much there are definitely alternate/cheaper routes you can take

[@soulgod3614]

Ahh no cap I want to do architecture an furniture design since last year an I still want to do it but I still goin to school so I waiting to finish skl

[@shehzilsuhail8235]

R u an architect? ....coz your video was quiet much a reflection of full of experiences...by the way the video was good...for all who want to opt for it in future ..I have also chosen this field for me ... right now completing a levels .. thank u for taking out time and helping others understand this profession.....

[@ricardombr]

The way I'm going to make passive income is right after leaving school I'm a rent a two unit House that is on a lease and working 8-4 and opening a credit card.

[@Moochers]

So you're going to purchase a home and rent it out?

[@ricardombr]

Yes but of course while I can't I'm learning online with graham stephan and meet kevin,Matt(Build Show),ect... I am now a noob so i am already going to facebook once a month and I talk with people that are in the buisness.

[@Moochers]

This is great! That's the best thing you can do : learn as much as possible!!! Those guys are great, I watch them as well

Hey Mooch very new to the channel, enjoying the content so far-keep it up. I was wanting to see what advice you have for someone who is interested in Sustainable Architecture as a career choice?

[@isthatdee9474]

I’m starting architecture in university this September, any tips or books/articles to read as I don’t know much about architecture

[@JonImperial]

Start thinking about how things come together, pay attention to your surroundings and experience buildings. Architecture and, Building Construction Illustrated by Francis D.K. Ching is a good book. It might be too detailed to start with but it's good to have. There are also a ton of videos here on youtube you can watch. Practice drawing. It's a communication tool you'll need. Good luck!

[@Moochers]

I'm afraid to suggest books because the ones I have read are way to detailed and may scare/bore you. I suggest, since you don't know much, go to arch daily and read the articles that interest you. As for videos: check out Urbanized. It's such a great Film that allows you to understand the power that architecture has. Also look for "Abstract" on netflix. One of the episodes is of famous architect Bjarke Ingles. That is a great architect to look at for reference cause he shows you how fun architecture can be. You can also look him up on youtube for a video called "architecture should be like minecraft", that one is a fun one. That should be a good start. Let me know what you think about all that when you check it out and I could offer more!

[@isthatdee9474]

Mooch thank you so much, I will definitely let you know, I’m also going to be studying in the United Kingdom which might be different from the US.

[@isthatdee9474]

Jon Imperial thanks dude

[@Moochers]

@@isthatdee9474 yes it will be different but the fundamentals will be the same. Design is design, what makes it unique is the individual.
