Architecture
I'm really confused about my future and I genuinely need honest advice. I love architecture and it's the field I've always wanted to pursue. I even took a gap year and worked hard to prepare for the entrance test. However, my family believes architecture isn't worth it in Pakistan because of the slow career growth, low starting salaries, long working hours, and the fact that many architects eventually switch careers. They keep telling me that my friends in tech will earn much more while I'll struggle financially. I also keep seeing people online saying they quit architecture after 2–3 years because of the workload and pressure, and it's making me question my decision. I'm not afraid of hard work, but I'm scared of spending five years on a degree only to regret it later or find limited opportunities. I do hope to build my career abroad one day, InshaAllah, but I still want to know whether architecture is genuinely worth pursuing, especially considering my family's concerns. If you're an architect, architecture student, or someone with real experience in this field, I'd really appreciate your honest opinion. Please don't sugarcoat it—I genuinely want advice that will help me make the best decision for my future.
Edit :- I think I'll be going with architecture but still want your honest opinions
