goo political discouragement because there are way to many of us already...
i have been spending a lot of time in emergency rooms and intensive care units and i am writing this note from one of them. i met tons of doctors and nurses while i am around of my ailing friend. doctors and nurses deserve every penny they make. they are much more needed than architects and unlike architects they have a much more to offer. personally i don't want to see any more comperesants between architects and people who care for human beings. we architects are bunch of self important people. if we continue this attidute and culture we'll be irrelevant fairly soon and render ourselves useless to the world. we kind of already are a bit...
I assume you were in a hospital werent you? It takes a lıcensed professıonal to create the documents to put a roof up just lıke ıt does to admınıster medıcatıon. And ıf youre ın doubt as to ıf thıs ıs ımportant look at haıtı. thats what happens when buıldıngs are buılt wıthout the approval of a lıcensed professıonal.
Orhan, if you're feeling so self-important, maybe you should focus more on yourself than on trying to fix others.
vincentVan, you shouldn't cut both of your ears because it really is effecting your understanding of what others are saying!
archimy... i am a licensed architect. but what you are saying is more to do with with structural requirements and their integration into building practices. in united states, only %10 or less of the buildings are designed by architects.
Orhan, I appreciate the sentiment and the setting from which you're writing that, but I think it's a bit misguided in addition to positing a definite answer to a subjective question. Health care workers are important, and depending on the position, care they offer, salary and hours they work, they may or may not be appropriately compensated. This focuses mostly on the US but is applicable elsewhere as well: however, health care tends to be an exceptionally disorganized field, in which expenses, expertise and services are often applied unevenly, unnecessarily and inequitably. When doctors and hospitals make a hefty chunk of money for ordering an unnecessary CT scan, for instance, they are not only earning money that they don't deserve but doing so at the expense of those without the means to get a necessary CT scan. This is to say nothing of whether a doctor or an architect has greater merit, because there's no point in weighing that. They are different professions with different challenges, different merits and different failings.
word FrankLloyd I agree completely, but humor me: In a post-apocalyptic world scenario who do you have traveling with you; doctor or architect?
