Rewards, stresses, and challenges

         Long hours of work and meeting deadlines can place a lot of pressure and stress on an architect. In addition, working hours may vary greatly. Luckily, the hard effort is not put to waste. A person just starting off as an architect may receive a pay within the twenties; however, the average wage of an architect is higher than the Canadian median wage across all occupations. Not only that, but the full-time full-year pay of an architect is also above average compared to all occupations!

The full-time full-year pay of an architect is $74,153, while that of all occupations is $56,033.
