How hard is it for architects to get clients or projects?

Getting clients or projects is just one small part of being an architect. And depending on if you want to eventually be a sole practitioner (in which case it will be an important part) or work for a larger firm (in which case they may have a marketing and client acquisition department). Being an architect is a lot about solving problems. You have to be able to take a clients needs, wants, issues, constraints, budget and figure out a solution. A sole practitioner will need to be able to get clients, design projects, do construction management, manage the finances, manage HR and employees, and overall know how to run a business which they don't teach in architecture school so do take finance classes and management classes in addition to architecture classes if you are able.

It can also be along process. You will need a 5 year degree or a masters, you will have to go through the IDP (apprenticeship program) and take a series of licensing exams. If it's something you love it's all worth it. Architects do eventually get paid ok but you aren't going to get rick as an architect but you will be able to make a good living once you get to a certain point. It will be long hours and lots of work to get there but for those that love it, it's all worth it.
