I worked for a couple of years in an architect's office which was cool but the pay wasn't great, as it is now I'm 25 and taking my Diploma which will put me that little bit closer to being a fully qualified architect.

It's been a real shock losing a steady income and going back to counting the pennies, but there's plenty of time for work in the future and I know I'd regret it if I didn't return to study.

SO did things turn out as I expected - not quite but pretty close. Plenty of my friends have been working for 4-5 years and have a lot more ready cash than me but whether they enjoy it is another question altogether.

My philospohy is we have such little time on this rock that if something isn't enjoyable, it simply isn't worth doing.
