There is something to be said about your post. Way to go!
-Why do lawyers get to go to law school and pass the bar right when they get out and become lawyers? These are the same people that will go after your license when you screw up! Why can't architects have the same type of system? There is a team of Consultants who determine if a building is going to fall down -whomever says that that's why we have to do an internship - is only purposely making life more difficult for the rest of us.
-For those that say that we need to continue on the same path, stop trying to make architecture out to be this "coveted" thing that is impossible or extremely lengthy for people to attain. You are only causing there to be more crap architecture in the world because there are simply not enough good architects to choose from. Let the market decide who should be the architect. Let the market choose who will get their licensed stripped if they screw up.
-If we want to change the profession, get rid of the 5 year degree or the 4+2 in addition to 3 years of pain staking internship plus 5 exams to pass go. Why can't it be like law school and be 3 years long and instead just include a practicum during that period? And when you get out, you can take an exam and you are done?
-There is HAZING in architecture school and there is HAZING in firms. The whole lengthy process is HAZING! Stop lying to the greater architecture community and pretending it doesn't exist! Let's start talking about it.
-Let's start talking about pay inequality between women and men in the profession.
-Let's start talking about the fact that very little women make it towards licensure, not because they get paid less(can't negotiate) or because they drop out to become moms but instead because they are treated differently in firms.
-Let's start talking about the admin stuff that women are asked to do in the firms that men aren't. Let's start talking about how incredibly different the "real" world of architecture "actually" is like in a firm than it is in architecture school.
If you are going to sit here and tell everyone that the building will fall down if you don't have 5 years or 4+3, or 4+2 years of school plus 3 years of internship plus exams, then why don't STRUCTURAL, GEOTECHNICAL engineers who actually DO affect whether or not the building WILL fall down have to do the same?
Indeed this high-intensity workload is required, and this might be little things can be done, in fact, this is necessary since proficiency dose not be obtained by merely time. Some thing I noticed is that the industry on US are becoming much promising, this suggests potential satisfying reward, but still, earn it on your own lad!
Reasons to not pursue this career path and major.
Agreed.
