I came across with this and decided to acknowledged whatever he has said, first of all, let me state what he said here =P<\/p>\n

Top 10 things you probably never hear most Architects Say.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m Really Rich! <\/strong>(This is way t rueee! Architects are not rich, you see big buildings, but it doesn’t belong to them but the developers >< So if you think Architects are noble job, yes but we are ‘humble’ hehe)<\/li>\n
  2. I’m getting way too much sleep! <\/strong>(OMGoodness thanks for pointing this out, how many people have asked me If i ever sleep? =P Along side with all the other crazy activities and my personal development time, well i think i’m a living zombie!)<\/li>\n
  3. Getting that House built is really eassy! <\/strong>(Ya right, spending 3 years of your lifetime monitoring the progress of your project is not easy!)<\/li>\n
  4. I love my job, Everyday. <\/strong>(Owh yes i love it when i think what i’m doing is great, but not with the to do list even in a simple project)<\/li>\n
  5. We can’t build that, that’s wayyy expensive. <\/strong>(This quote belongs to the QS, and as an enemy of QS, Architects we design the best, yet the most expensive! x) )<\/li>\n
  6. I learn everything i needed to know in College. <\/strong>(In Architecture you’ll never learn enough, and professions is at their best at 40s+)<\/li>\n
  7. Imagine your Contractor is not a moron. <\/strong>(Yes screw contractors who don’t understand our language =P )<\/li>\n
  8. My Clients are the best!<\/strong> (No, from the internship i have learnt recently, my client screw me up seriously much without knowing what do architects do. Just because they pay, doesn’t mean they can spam their ideas and suggestion but i thought Architects are the ones to suggest the best option!)<\/li>\n
  9. I don’t have enough Education! <\/strong>(Because Education only brings Architects to ‘that’ much! )<\/li>\n
  10. We are on Budget, and everything is going according to schedule.<\/strong> (No such things as budget for us! )<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As an Architecture student, so far after 2 years, and being filled with many activities in out campus, in out countries, or whatever, and having discovered my passion, i can’t stop agreeing with all of the points! Argh! Thanks for saying it out! But there are many reasons again why i want to be an Architect. Because i think they are one of the important professions that could change the world. And inspire many.<\/p>\n

    Partially of the going green reason too. Often i tell my fellow green friend<\/p>\n

    “You can save a person at a time to go Green, I think i could help by saving a building at a time!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And yes here is another video in responds, why you should be an ARchitect.
