The course of study is long and hard, no doubt. The drop-out rate is also quite high.
The working life is also hard and the reward is not really more attractive than other fields, not in the first few years anyway.  It could be rewarding when you are more established and have your own practice. If it is any consolation,  architects are one of the top earners among all the professions, that is, for those who have made a name for themselves.
