- Honestly, the most rewarding will be the one your most passionate about. With psychology, unless you have a doctorate in that major, the salary will not be great. With architecture, it's a bit tricky. You can get a bs, ba, or masters degree. With a bs, your an architect whose done 4 years of school. You can work for a certified architect, but you can't become one yourself. So the rewards of that are a bit less. With a ba or masters, it's different. with a ba in arch, your doing 5 years, with a masters your doing 6...however, doing a ba or masters in arch is the way to go...you become eligible to take the certification test to become a licensed arch. However, it's a long process. Not only are you doing 5-6 years in school, but you gotta work for a certified architect for 3 years after school to become eligible to take the test. So it's a lot of time to put in. Ineterior design is more the creative side of the building where architecture is the more technical side. With interior design, you focus on the inside design...not the technical side, like how much force is needed for this wall to be stable. There are lot of different degrees offered in this program...bs of interior design, ba of interior design, there is also a bs and ba degree in interior architecture.
