YYYAAAAAHHHHOOOOOEEEEE! Congrats! I am in my first year of IDP so I appreciate all that you have been through. But after grad school, I am happy to be gainfully employed with a great local design firm (better get back to work!). So now that you are an *OFFICIAL LICENSED ARCHITECT* are they paying you the BIG bucks or what? Curious minion/intern wants to know.

Way to go!!

Congrats man!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!! Guess you are now "Licensed to BUILD", eh? Hee hee.

Congrats...you must be JAZZED!!!

woohoo congrats!!

I got a job with a firm right out of undergrad and then started grad school a few years later while working fulltime. So my grad work was concurrent with my experience.

If you have a BArch or your Masters you only need 3 years of work experience. I had only a BS Arch so could not test officially (I could have after 7 years). I got my MArch when I was at about 6 years experience, and getting the authorization to test and all that took time. Plus I failed one test out of the nine, so I had to wait 6 months to take it again. :-P

When I started as a fresh-out-of-school newb in '98 I made $12/hour (plus overtime) and progressed at a decent pace from there. When I changed firms in '04 I went up quite a bit by changing companies. We get our annual raise in January so I just got another 6% raise there. But our Business Manager e-mailed and said congratualtions and gave me an ADDITIONAL $1500 just for passing the tests. Let's just say I'm now making more than I thought I would at the age of 34!!

Woohoo!!

Congrats!!!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!
As an aside, that should mean more time to improve your workouts and increase your post counts here on BT, right? We all still have so much to learn about biking.

Nah ..... haven't studied for tests since last year, so I'm already devoting more time to the boards than I should be .... ;-P

I'm supposed to be drawing an apartment building for seniors as we speak! :eek:

Sweeeeeet!  Congrats, Daremo.  Hmmm, $1500...  I think there are some Zipps in that price range.

At my cost, that would be all of them except the "Z" models .....

If only it was a lump sum bonus instead of rolling it into my annual salary.

Congratulations!  My best friend is an architect!  I love to introduce her as: "And this is my friend Shauna, she's an architect."

Super job!  Always happy to have pragmatists in the ranks!  May your imagination continue to fly!
