Answer 1

hard to say.... it all depends on economics and the demand for architects. unfortunately, if u care a lot about how much u could potentially make in the future, architecture is not your best bet. they make enough (depending on the city and how long the experience is, as low as low 30's up to over 70's, in thousands a year), so the average is roughly around 40's and 50's. and they are some of the hardest working people around, and the money doesn't reflect that.

if u wanna make good money, try being a civil engineer.... u probably won't be a millionaire but u'll make better money than architects.

Answer 2

I'd have a hard time judging what an architect would make on average in 2017. I do know what it was estimated that an architect could make in 1965, the year I would have graduated from the School of Architecture at the University of Florida had I continued to major in it. I didn't.

At that time, the average architect made $10,000 a year. This includes the great many young architects who were interns at private firms and, frankly, made peanuts. There are few very successful architects and most of the big commissions go the them.

I don't mean to discourage you, for architecture is still an exciting and fulfilling profession. You must realize that $10,000 in 1960, when I started school, was a living wage and not so bad as an entry level salary.

Answer 3

Well, I know someone who is an architecture major. You make nothing as soon as you get out of school. You have to get a Master's degree to make any money. Because then you can sign drawings or whatever and take on liability and be accountable for things happening/ people dying if such a thing occur.
