Porsch-o-phile..
Read thro your last post...congrats on the pilot stuff and now you are an architect...hummm..
I understand your fustration but still fail to see why such anger..
You are in a position, as an architect, to directly influence how people live, their environment and how they experience it, you can influence how the feel, how they enjoy or not everyday life and the trials and trivulations inherent therein.
Yeah life is a challenge...but if you don't like challenges why did you become a pilot and then an architect....both professions where you need a measure of independent thinking and action against a system designed to cover most but not situations and circumstances....
Only in acrhitecture there is no emergency checklist cos you can find yourself in genuinely new waters.
Also there is a measure of personal satisfaction of seeing your projects get built, of knowing the owners and users love and appreciate what you have done, of knowing you have contributed to something which will hopefully outlive you, something you can point to and tell you kids and family, that's what I did for all those hours at work.
Man I love getting invites to events at buildings I have built or when they are in the news etc etc..I makes me feel that the effort was worth it, was appreciated and meant something not only to me but also to the Client.
I know that the effort is something that has value, for myself, to teach others in my teams, others around me and mainly to teach my son that effort, when applied to something you enjoy and get great pleasure from brings its own rewards and will enable you to live a lifestyle you want. Sure I don't have an RS in the garage or a P-51 in the hanger, but I get by with an E and the odd Spitfire joy ride. Hell we all have to make sacrifices...
Being an architect is great, what other profession allows to play with coloured crayons, card board and glue and call it work?
