They responsibly play their role for society. These architects are very few. They succeed because they live it, eat it, and breathe it. They succeed because not only do they have a good head for business, but they are also true artists. Buildings live and spill from their souls.
Architecture is a very, very honorable profession.
Society admires them, misunderstands them, worships them, and ubuses them. So if you got buildings burning in your soul, by God, do it. If not, and you just want to be creative, then look at graphic design, digital media, marketing, or illustration. These fields don't build things as momentous as buildings, but within them, design itself is more accessible. Reply by an architect and musician.
