I’ve been working for an Arch. Firm for 4 years as an Arch. drafter/designer. I’m 26, my goal is to become an architect but it would be impossible for me to go back to school for 5-6 years and work to make enough money to support my family. So my question is can I become a licensed Arch with enough experience. I hear different stories from different people. Some say if you have 8-10 years of experience working for architects you can become licensed. Some say you can’t without 5 years education. Some say it differs from state to state. Can anyone tell me the correct info on this?
