Becoming a licensed architect is a thought I’ve contemplated for a while. Licensure is something I would like to accomplish in my architectural career. One of the reasons I’m not opposed to it is that, I will work most of the hours required for licensure sooner or later, there is no harm in logging those hours and making them count toward something. The only con is the level of difficulty of the long and arduous test. There are a limited amount of positions you can hold and buildings you can design when you are not licensed. The title of an architect can not be earned without a license, various sources have proclaimed that architectural graduates with their licenses are paid 15-20% more per year compared to interns with the same amount of experience. Obtaining my license opens up more opportunities for career advancement and involvement in more exciting and challenging projects.
