When you declare you want to be an architect, no one tells you how long and difficult the process is. No one tells you that you?re going spend 4-7 years in school, and no one tells you that have to pass seven, or six--or however many exams NCARB says you have take--grueling exams that could take years to complete. Oh, let?s not forget the thousands of specific experience hours required to begin taking those exams (wait, did they change that, too"). No one told us, that?s for sure. Maybe that?s a good thing, because otherwise our webcomic, Architexts, would never have come to be. Laughter is the best medicine, after all, and we?re glad to have the opportunity to spread some laughter to our fellow architects.
