Let's Talk Money

This week I'll discuss how much money an architect makes and the job growth. An architect makes an annual income of about 73,xxx. Sounds like a nice paycheck to me. But you have to remember that's with being in the business for many years. An entry level architect will only be making around 40,xxx a year. Then again, it all depends on your location and experience levels.

Another thing I would like to discuss this week, is the job outlook. The average job growth is around 14% for most jobs. The predicted growth rate for architect is 24%. This means that it is growing faster than average. Say we hit another recession though, people won't be needing anything built, and it may go right back down.





There are currently around 110,xxx architects employed and we're just coming out of a recession. Basically the better you are the greater chance of getting and keeping a job as an architect will be. Also, the better the paycheck will be :)
