Architectural Designs

How much do architects get paid if they work on large projects?

I was recently considering whether I wanted to be an architect but money is very important to me. Also, I would like to work on projects such as buildings in New York City. I have three questions: How much money do architects working on large buildings make? What field of architecture is this considered? What are starting salaries for these architects, and will they be hired if they come from top colleges?

1. $100 to 400 dollars for a small house you designed. One small house will take you around a 3 weeks to design or even more. You would also face a deadline and work overtime as working at nights. You will get like 3 or 4 houses to design for a month. It depends what kind of house. For example you designed a small house, $100-$400, one more little bigger one is $500 and another normal one is $800. If you will work hard you will get at least $2000 a month. If you will design more buildings a month you will get like $4000 to $6000 a month. It will depend how hard you will work. You can go even more depends what are you building. The college is 5 years B.Arch. +3 masters and +1 doctoring if you want. Like 9 years if you want to learn more. + 3 years internship and then you will have to take a big licensed exam and you can be called an Architect. In your internship period you will work for someone else and will only be allowed to design little bit of one project to help an Architect. You will be like regular drafter. The median salary for an Architect is 64000 a year.
