I, for one, am a big believer that architects are under paid and deserve more! Of course with that, I must say that construction managers are also grossly under paid. :-)
It is my hope that everyone values their contributions enough to feel they are underpaid. The trick is learning to find a balance between the two (because I'm not going to be turning down any raises when I see them!)
I am an architect in Dallas, happily married with 1 child.
A majority of the projects I develop are private residences but my firm also specializes in the design of fire stations and retail environments. In 2009 I received the American Institute of Architects "Young Architect of the Year" award (but it was probably for doing things that would cause others to think twice). Life is good.
