Can a architect earn as much as a doctor or a lawyer?

Answer 1

Ofcourse! If he has the right clients and good connections, an architect can make more than a doctor or lawyer. As with any career associated with design and art, your name is everything. An architect must sell himself, if possible, to rich clients with no taste (that want greek columns, statues, and waterfalls everywhere). Once established, an architect can run his own firm, which like any business can make millions (I doubt an architect can become a billionaire through architecture alone, real estate development is key). Look at Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Carlos Calatrava, etc... They are all architects who have made millions through their designs. You can make money in anything, you just have to do it.
