Is education needed to become an architect?

No, you can just rock up and get paid cash money to be an architect. Everyone knows they just scribble some crud on a piece of paper and let the builders do all the work.

I would suggest taking up the smoking of crack cocaine and possibly impregnating as many women as possible while you are at high school...I assume you are still at high school?

I would also get my first murder under my belt early.

Entrance essay, arts degree from a community college, bam! Youre an architecht baby.
