[quote=Anonymous]The architecture industry is competitive, very hardworking with spontaneous and frequent late nights and is quite stressful. It pays pretty poorly relative to other fields. I'd recommend that you foster this via classes or a summer job in a small firm. Have him take AutoCAD at a community college and/or classes through the Corcoran in their summer program and he'll be knowledgeable and employable as a summer intern (eventually). Coupled with biz or planning skills the degree can be lucrative. But I know many architects who face burnout and/or major frustration at the extreme work and relatively low pay. Of course, "starchitects" are the exception, not the rule. [/quote]
