Kevin I have some bad news. I am a degreed architect and have
been working with 'programming' for a very very long time and
I hate to break it to you but architects 'do' have to work like
programmers with one exception:
The United States has become a facist nation of filthy corrupt pigs.
An architect must become 'registered' by the state which controls
who can and who can not work. Working without permission from
the state can and does incur criminal prosecution. Achieving the
registration requires working for an employer who may or may
not choose to assign work to a person that is required for credit
by the state who issues the registration once a certain number of
credit hours are accumulated. Do you see the corruption here?
The law sets the requirements but there is no way to meet them
without indentured servitude and years of boot licking.
All of the rationale for this is fraudulent as the fascist pigs claim
registration ensures that the public's safety, health, and welfare
is 'assured'. BULLSH!T Who has ever heard of an architect or
engineer who was sent to prison? It doesn't happen. There are
problems in the construction industry and some very corrupt inviduals
and firms for sure but everything gets settled in the 'civil' courts
anyway.
There never has been and there never will be a registration that can
'assure' a service provider is ethical or does not and will not make
mistakes. Thus, the entire aspect of 'registration' is by definition fascism.
On the other hand, software development is still totally merit based
and has no little neo-nazis -- yet -- that can use politics and corrupt
manipulation of the markets to prosecute people as criminals for
simply working. They are trying though.
So trust me. Until you have to appear before a big fat c*nt who has
become a mayor and who has a bunch of equally assinine aldermen
who will grille you for weeks back and forth requiring new drawings
over and over and over simply to explain to their satisfaction which
side of the yard the f*cking bushes are going to be on you have no
appreciation of how sweet it can really be to continue to work in
one of the last merit based activities that thank God that still remains
untouched by the filthy neo-nazi pigs that are deconstructing our
nation and turning it into a neo-nazi communist gulag.
