ARCHITECTURE LICENSE: YES OR NO?
In my opinion becoming a licensed architect would be very beneficial. Although, I am still debating on working to open my own firm, I think if I had the opportunity to open it I would. By having my license not only will I be prepared for this possibility but also it can bring many advantages. Achieving to be a registered architect would be a great accomplishment and one of my goals to be complete. As a registered architect, I’d have the opportunity to be more involved in design work. It would also be a sense of respect, not to feel superior to others but so others don’t feel superior to me for not being licensed. Being a woman architect will be hard enough but having a better title could help me and boost my image with others. I’m not keen on having to take so many e long exams but the idea of being able to have my license would be worth it. In some situations, a registered architect is paid more and have a higher status in a firm. I could become a principal architect and be could have more chances of being able to design and supervise the design and development of a building. This can all be harder job but I don’t want to give up without trying.
