Not sure if my story will be helpful but I left an Architecture firm as a CAD Tech to take a job as a construction inspector with an Civil Engineer that consults on DOT projects. The pay was better and the job was way easier with a normal work-life balance. Im starting a new job as a Project Engineer at a GC Firm next week for a pay bump and a few other fringe benefits.
I dont mind. I have an Associates Degree in Architectural Technology (Basically learned all the software) and some University at a 5 yr College of Architecture. Stopped in 3rd yr.
