ive been thinking about being an architect
I suggest that you investigate this more before making any commitment. Most architecture programs are 5 years long. They require very intense amounts of study. Upon graduation, the entry level pay scale for architects is very, very low. Most of the work an entry-level architect does is scut work -- they get to do very little creative work. The only ones who make decent money in architecture are the partners in the firms. The way you get to be partner is by bringing in work -- i.e., by being successful in sales.
If you have the artistic skills and love architecture, then by all means have at it. But look before you leap and make sure that you know what you are getting into, because you'll be broke for a long time.
