I need to know as much as possible about these 2 careers (architect,
graphic designer).  What kind of money can one expect to bring in with
each one?  How soon after college can one expect a good job?  Are they
in hot damand right now?  What kind of training is involved with each
one? Do they make good supporting careers?  etc...

Hello dingus-ga,

to explore. Just follow the links and you will find ample resources to
answer all your questions.

Wishing you success whatever you choose.

ARCHITECTURE CAREERS
====================

http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos038.htm
Architects, Except Landscape and Naval

Significant Points
More than 28 percent were self-employed—about four times the
proportion for all professional and related occupations.

Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture,
a period of practical training and the passing of all divisions of the
Architect Registration Examination.

Architecture graduates may face competition, especially for jobs in
the most prestigious firms; experience from working in a firm during
school and knowledge of computer-aided design and drafting technology
are advantages.

***** Be sure to read all of this profile with special attention to
the sections on Employment, Job Outlook and Earnings.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER CAREERS
========================

http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos090.htm
Designers

Significant Points
Three out of 10 designers are self-employed—almost 5 times the
proportion for all professional and related occupations.

Creativity is crucial in all design occupations; most designers need a
bachelor's degree, and candidates with a master's degree hold an
advantage.

Keen competition is expected for most jobs, despite projected
faster-than-average employment growth, because many talented
individuals are attracted to careers as designers.
