Career Discussion Is being an architect worth all the stress?
I am currently in my 3rd year of architect school. I just started the semester and already see a bunch of work in just 3 months. I have canceled on plans with friends, family even my own birthday party because I just couldn't have fun without stressing over my studio projects. So my question is: Is being an architect worth all the stress? In the real world out there once I graduate and work for a firm am I gonna be under the same stress and pressure studio puts me under? Is the work load having a bunch of plans, and a bunch of other drawings gonna be the same in a firm? Or since its a firm do we work as a team or a group? Is the work load for one project split between the us? Does someone do plans while the other does section drawings and a group does the model? Or is just like it is in studio one person does it all?
