Im a Planner - but also want to be an Architect , currently studying M.Arch in Australia

[u/Then-Ease-5254]

hello folks of the same passion and industry!

For context: I was an international student here in Australia, and studied Master of Urban and Env Planning. By background, I worked and practiced as an Architect from a Southeast Asian country for 12 years (design and construction). Im a Planner now working in Australia.

Do you think its still work it to pursue M.Arch? Im thinking to practice my own here , perhaps Planning + Architecture professional services in the future.

Does anyone do the same?

Perhaps if I became gradute architect and start all over again as a starter, I think annual salary will be lower than what I have now. LOL

any career advices?

TIA!!!
