On the bright side, women rank architect as one of the most attractive professions a man can have. Why? Nobody has a clue, and never will.

It's slightly average for the area, all things considered. It includes trash and sewage (easily 100+). It'd be $2800 but I'm paying $100 extra for the gated parking space because replacing broken windows every month is more expensive.

Electrical engineer here. Electrical engineering jobs start at $50k CAD which is around $35k freedom bucks.
Jobs are shit because companies either run on paper-thin margins or they are bloated corporations with busy-bodies and endless meetings.
Management consists of boomers. They have houses paid off and are happy with $110k they are making. They will not let you get a raise anywhere near that because that's a "manager's or staff engineer's salary".

Took learn2code pill. Never been happier, WFH around 3-5 a day and go to the gym in the afternoon.

Switch to software or webdev. You will rarely use math, but HR and management think that software engineering kind of requires it. Makes it much easier to land a job coming from STEM compared to bootcamp grads. Kinda wish I started earlier, but I am getting ahead by taking cloud certs like they are going out of style.

People complain about being overworked in startups but it is nowhere close to what you get working in conventional engineering firms (electrical/civil/mech/petrochem).

>>54237239
They have no fucking clue what it involves and it doesn't take you traveling or on call and they think you make the big bucks. That's why it's attractive.

Women see Friends and think architects are making one bedroom apartment for one money. Even back in the 90's if Ross was realistic he would be as paid as well or even less than a barista

>>54237737
degree gets invalidated by HR if you are not using it for more than a year
(might be different where you live but here its an issue)

>>54237276
To be fair, we should all love Saabs. Fantastic cars.

This answer makes no sense, the question is about architecture, and yet it does make sense.
