Scope of Architecture: The best part of being an architect is that you can be anything. After graduation, the usual path: - You can join architectural firms and work on architecture projects. - Join infrastructure firms as an architect. - Be a free-lance interior designer if you like it (wouldn’t suggest this though, always get some experience first). Something offbeat which need your love for architecture. - Be a conservationist architect and work on conservation of heritage projects. Need a lot of training for this. - Work with NGOs developing architectural solutions to real issues. - Be an architectural photographer. All you need is a good camera and how to use 'Rule of Thirds'. - If you have good writing skills you can be an architectural journalist covering projects throughout the world. Very less scope in India as of now, mostly with architectural magazines. - Many architects also become graphic designers. - You can design furniture of your own and have a studio. - Be an exhibition designer. - Be a set designer in movies. - Average package in India. The value of an architect is not because of what he has studied but what projects he has executed or worked on. So sorry to disappoint you but you won't earn much more than INR 20-25k (that too in metros).
