[quote=Anonymous]My 2 nieces are architects and went to a top architectural program in college. You can google the top programs. I just ran into an architect last night (one of my dh's bank clients). He said the business was finally coming back after a 4 year lull. Your son should ask to "shadow" an architect for a day or volunteer to be a gopher in an office. The work is hard and long. And, I read that the average salary is about $73k a year which is low for a field requiring such great skill. You can google US Department of Labor stats to see for yourself. Art skills are important and so are math skills. A lot of folks aren't good at both...that is why architects are really pretty special. The college work is hard...both of my nieces worked all night and day on their projects. One niece was just named a top designer for hotels and the other teaches at college now in additon to working at her own business. Rough work![/quote]
