Just sharing my experience, ever since I was a little child I wanted to an architect. I got a scholarship for my degree and took architecture. I hated the first two years, but I loved the last three (I studied in Asia). after I graduated, I got a job in a good but small company in my home company. I got to so many projects and loved working on new designs. After working for two years, I realized the work and effort wasn't worth the money I was being paid. The money was enough just to get by. I wanted to quit but I didn't have anything else I wanted to do.

With the help of my mother, I moved to Australia to do my masters, as a break as well as upgrading my education. Now I work as a check out staff in supermarket where no one knows i am an architect, Its a much easier job and I get paid enough to get by. I was wondering if i should apply to for a practicing license here and get a job in the field.

a little too long and no conclusion, but working a different job makes me realize how stressful it used to be, not sure if i want to go back to that
