Ure completely refereeing to an Architect that can't stand for his designs,

Everything is buildable in architecture, if a civil engineer can't handle a project or alter a project because he feels it's not gonna stand then he's not worthy to be employed to work with an Architect

ba7man:
It's the architects work that's visible in the end.

You'll know a project that didn't employ an architect by how bland it will be. E.g. 3rd mainland bridge compared to Ikoyi link bridge.

Maccoy1:
have prayed nd all I keep getting is architecture but my passion is civil engineering

Maccoy1:
Am really confuse, all my life have never considered any other profession other than anything engineering because I love developing things from the scratch I.e I like to construct things like cars,planes, houses with waste materials, But with recent development, I discovered that I have a calling in architecture. but then I also discover that architects only design and go home but civil engineers are involved in every bit of the construction, and that is what I love doing; getting involved in every bit of the job.

Finally with the income aspect of it in nigeria which is more likely to end more or has more job opportunities.

Good comments, what about between, medicine, pharmacy n computer science

asamaigho:


lemme tell u,d civil engineer can change the architects drawing if such drawings are structurally unattainable,...stop saying what u dont know.

for d op, civil engineering is far more than building houses as this is the least part of civil engineering.

architecture basically is more of an artistic course,while civil engineering has to do more with structural analysis,design and construction of anything ranging from buildings,roads,bridges,dams,stadia,mast,cofferdams to aircrafts and ships.

saxywale:

all what you listed here are the work of a construction supervisor/estimator/scheduler/QS, all sub branch of civil engineering.

Guyman02:
Go for Architecture and back it up with a Masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning if you are good with Mathematics, Physics and love fine arts

fellow Architect!, you need not all these points. Never stress yourself, all the interviews i have gone for, i do tell them the amount i want to be collecting. Before graduating i have designed several buildings in which i built four myself. After my Nysc my neigbours used to beef me because i will locked myself inside my appartment from morning to night with generator on. Thinking i was into yahoo yahoo. Enough said though, but back to the op, @your orientation that Architect design and go, its a CAPITAL NO!, except a learner Architect. Infact people believe Architects know better on the construction because they are the initiators and understand how design will work on ground. My advice for you is that do not study Architecture or civil eng. Because of the money involve, PLS AND PLS, IF YOU ARE NOT CREATIVE ENOUGH OR HARDWORKING do not go for Architecture. Lot of my friends left Architecture for another courses before graduating because they couldnt cope. Even the lazy ones that managed to graduated can not practice the profession. "Architecture demands your whole" i could remember i developed stomarch ulcer while in school because studio from morning to night. No time. Dont get it twisted op civil engineering is a great course too, two of my cousins and my immediate brother are civil engr. And they are doing pretty well.

ochris03:
Bros civil is far more better than archit. u can make one mill a week is u r the site engineer, all the materials are bought by u, sand n tipper dealers worship u, while some go as far as seducing u to buy wit dem. But if u want to be a billionaire u must be humble and learn everything from ur employer within 3-5yrs den go do MPM and bcome a project manger. As a project manager u control archit,QS,structural,mechnical, electrical,surveyors, and d rest. Go to any big govt site and look at deir post board u will see d project managers cums first and u can be handling like 3-5 at once and u knw wat dat means while archit can get 5 jobs but takes months to deliver all and some jus use old drawings and edit lol.Google more about wat i just said.Project managers/Civil Engrs is the best in any Construction.

otswag:
lol. bros, only u can answer this question o

jazinogold:
wait make I phone a friend!


calling...Architect Nammadi sambo!



I am JAZINOGOLD, and I just want to make common sense!

[b]Architecture! Architecture!! Architecture!!!

WHY ? Architecture is the best professional course you can ever study. Architects are the Second God because we create what we conceive !

WHICH COURSE IS LIKE UNTO THEE,
ARCHITECTURE? In school they see us
as the most hard working, simply because
ARCHITECTURE keeps us up most
nights. After school, while graduates of other professions
chase
after job vacancies, we tell Job Vacancies how much we
wish to be paid
if they want us to work for them, just because we are
ARCHITECTS. 1st
class? 2nd class? They are all brilliant. But an
ARCHITECT with a Pass
degree will keep you & your wife as staff in his office,
and on salary
- just because he is an ARCHITECTS. Even if we wish
not to work with
anybody, the jobs come right down to our door steps,
just because we
are ARCHITECTS. And while sitting at home, we make
an average of
100,000naira monthly because we are ARCHITECTS,
you think that's
simple? Then resign from your job and try sitting at
home for 4 days
if you ain't one; call me on phone when you've got
airtime. We can
even make an average of 30-40,000naira every 6days
by simply teaching
people softwares we know in ARCHITECTURE or being
involved in
architectural visualization, just because we are
ARCHITECTS. And for
simply scrambling a collection of lines on paper (which
70% of the
world's professors cannot interpret/read), we get paid;
just because
we are ARCHITECTS. We determine if your hometown/
village will find
development, just because we are ARCHITECTS. Those
skyscrapers and
famous buildings you have promised yourself to visit
before you die,
we built them, because we are ARCHITECTS. For
showing you what your
dream house will look like, we get paid even if you
eventually don't
afford to build it, simply because we are ARCHITECTS.
We do not need
CNN and the NTA Network News to tell people what we
do, every single
house we've designed does all the talking, because we are
ARCHITECTS.
The only profession where you work less (literally,
because you
dictate when to work) but earn more -
ARCHITECTURE. The only
profession that allows you to begin your day by 11am
every single day
but earn more than those who work 29hours (+5 ghost
hours) a day.

WailingWailer00:
The truth is that they aren't even similar
Architecture is mostly about drawing and sketches
Engineering is mostly about construction and structural implementation

If you are very good in mathematics, physics then go for civil engineering
If you're average but love drawing, go for architecture

Architecture enables you start up a firm with little capital after graduation
Civil engineering enables you get a top notch job after months or years of searching

Do what gives you joy and happiness

naijainfogalery:
They are almost the same thing just that one seems to be in the office and one is strictly on the field,. But i think architecture is still embedded in civil cos if you dont understand the the drawing u cant build it

So if u like field work go for civil but if you like office things then go for architecture.


But for me i would go for civil engineering it gets your hand dirty and allows u know more about architecture than even architects

luckypeace1980:


Finally with the income aspect of it in nigeria which is more likely to end more or has more job opportunities MY BRODER!!! i am an architect i will advice you to go for your mind but i prefer you go for civil engeneering because is not one sided course this is what i advised my youngest broder , whom i trained in my office to go and study civil engeneering as recent design softwares has made architecture works so simple in that any tallented individual can use those software and take architects job but it is not so easy to civil engeneers .

naijainfogalery:
Dont get my wrong most of the time architects stays in the office, if they dont, how do they have time to draw, i know they dont spend their whole life at the office but they dont get their hands dirty like the civil enginerrs

Demmzy15:
I'm studying Mechanical Engineering

ademoladeji:


I only used civil engineering bcoz it's in the topic of discussion.

All engineering professions are second to none...

We are problem finder and solver

Demmzy15:
That's nice o, so you're a graduate right?
