Architecture?

I am 15 now and I have always wanted to be an architect. What do you think? Hard? Boring? Exciting? Gets lots of money?

if you really building and being creative you will enjoy it!
If you like building things and drawing, it could be for you. Get a big job, and you will make a lot of money. Maybe hard when starting out, but gets easier as you go along.
I'm a current architecture student and all I could say is that architecture takes a lot of dedication. It's always glad to hear about a person that is interested in architecture and I'm glad to hear that you are interested in it. The money wise... It really depends on your skills. I think the median is around 30,000-35,000 after college but this all also depends on what type of firm you are working for. But all I can tell you is that if you are majoring in architecture and thinking that you will be a millionaire after school... forget about it... But a lot of my professors at school make about 100,000 a year, most of them either have their own firms or work for a company, and they are about 40 years old. BUT It is freakin exciting! I cannot tell you in words how awesome it is to study architecture. I think architecture appeals to me as a half art and a half engineering. and by making a good balance in between the two, bam! you have something worth looking at...
