Education:
A bachelor’s degree in architecture is typically required, followed by a master’s degree in some cases.

Effective communication is important for collaborating with clients, engineers, and construction teams.
Expected Salary in the USA and Canada:
Salaries for architects in the USA and Canada vary based on experience, location, specialization, and the specific employer. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, here’s a rough estimate of salary ranges for architects in both countries:
- Entry-Level Architect: $50,000 – $70,000 per year
- Intermediate Architect: $70,000 – $90,000 per year
- Senior Architect: $90,000 – $120,000+ per year
