Don't you guys know that we are under paid and overworked? Not overworked these days, 80% of the architects I know are either unemployed, forced to retire due to lack of business, or down to a 3-day work week. If they are calling you an "architect', then expect a pay cut soon.

The AIA (American Institute of Architects) defends and promotes the title of "architect" to be reserved for licensed professionals in the traditional sense. However their declaration of war was not heard by many because they have a tiny voice and tiny little fists to back it up with. I'm no longer an AIA member, and my comment was perhaps meant to get a raise, but in good humor and with some self deprecation tossed in.

This is what they do in Texas, but hey it's another country.
