Just Passed All Exams - General Thoughts on entire Process
1. It takes wayyyyyyyyyyy to long to get licensed.
2. The pay is a joke for how qualified you need to be.
3. We should get an AR title like a DR title. Ar. Smith is better than Mr. Smith, Architect or Mr. Smith RA
4. While you're testing there needs to be an interim title similar to "residency" or "resident" so the general public knows what you are doing and what it leads to. All in hopes of avoiding awkward conversation about where you are in your career.
5. The testing material is way to hard to find and expensive.
6. The tests are way to expensive.
7. School is not based in reality, when it should be.
8. We could do a better job of grouping ourselves together for all areas post college.
9. Architecture has to have some of the worst office culture. It starts with studio
10. Architecture school has to be completely rethought and based in reality. Staying up all night was not helpful whatsoever.

100% to all of this!! there needs to be a big change in this field, beginning with the education system and its tie in to the tests and the real world
the official title and the residency-type label are really great ideas that would be taking a step in the right direction, it's like we're thrown to the wolves in this process while other professional fields have a functioning and rewarding system in place, one in which your expensive and intensive education actually prepares you for becoming a licensed professional
studio is absolutely to blame for the horrifying office culture problem
