How much does normally a graduated of Architecture earn?

part 1 these days you'll be lucky if you get a job at all. be thankful for the minimum wage - lots of people willing to work for free so the 'value' of your work drops when someone else is more than willing to do the same for job. We are now even seeing this happen at Part 2...


- People are working for free so 'value' of architecture graduates drops, (Simple economic principles applied here)
- People doing overtime all the time and not claiming it or even putting it on the time sheet.
- Architects own pride and arrogance.. how long did that take you.. they say .. 2days (when in fact it took them 4 days)
- Architects setting stupid deadlines with clients
- General bad management in terms of time management and business management for all architects across the board.
- Architecture isn't a grudge purchase like Private doctor/accountant/lawyer so therefore there is complete carnage in so much an economic blip.
- Worst hit in any recession
- Longest,hardest and most expensive course to study, thus leaving you in huge amounts of debt that you never get the salary to pay off.
- No Pension.


And another note, architecture has the highest staff turnover rate of any "profession" thus the odds of being hired and fired are high. Constantly swimming from one job to another..

RIBA publish guidelines on pay, but they are fantasy. Welcome to the place where only 'rich kids' survive.

use google. i had assumed that given you were considering doing architecture you had done some basic research into the degree.

We wouldn't have had any problems if you just answered my question, instead of wasting time making sarcastic comments...

what if you're really good?

To OP; you're a panhead.

Part 1 - First 3 years
Part 2 - 1 year working 2 years MA
Part 3 - 1 year for RIBA

I know people are complaining about wages etc. But do you not feel that the economic situation may pick up in 7 years time?
Just wondering.

and we wouldn't have to waste our time with your questions if you either:

a) searched this forum as the question has been answered many times before here
b) searched google, where the answer is available on the first page of your search results.

don't assume the world owes you an answer because you can't be bothered to research yourself.

Why be so aggressive? Ok, so the kid could have done more research but still, whatever happened to being a good samaritan? Such pedantic arrogant lecturing does not reflect well on yourself, even if, in essence, I agree with what you are saying.
