**Architectural Science: A PhD Candidate’s Dilemma?**
Fellow architects, I’m currently wrestling with a profound and frankly, hilarious dilemma. I’m trying to choose between a BArch (Business Architecture) or a Project Manager (MPM, MASc) in my 4th year of study. The degree is a *tad* more than I’d like, but the *real* question is: is it worth the hefty price tag?
It’s like trying to herd a flock of pigeons. I’m trying to be a productive, well-compensated architect, but the reality is, the salary is a *major* factor. It’s a salary that pays *more* than the time it takes to complete a project, and the *real* pay is often just a bit higher than my current hourly rate. And, let’s be honest, the *actual* salary is a bit… underwhelming.
Honestly, I’m a little scared. I’m feeling like I’m making a huge mistake. My architectural background is a valuable asset, but the responsibility of managing a project, especially one with a deadline, is incredibly stressful.
So, what’s the verdict? Is it worth the hefty price tag? I’m not sure. But I’m definitely going to try to be a more strategic and efficient architect. Maybe I’ll even leverage my architectural background to find a better work-life balance.
And, if you’re going to be a project manager, I’d be happy to help you craft a compelling proposal that showcases your architectural expertise and solidifies your candidacy. Just let me know your thoughts!
I am studying Architectural Science and we need to choose a concentration Architecture (BArch) or Project Manager (MPM, MASc) in our 4th year. The degree will change based on our selection. Being a licensed architect in Canada takes a long time- masters, passing exams but it looks like PM is shorter and the pay is much higher. And salary is an important aspect for me. Does having an architectural background as a project manager make a difference? What should I choose?
