Interesting thread... I always thought architects are paid very well, cos its so hard to get into and its definitely one of the more challenging professional degree programs out there, but apparently all that predigree and pain does not translate to a lofty pay!
But just wondering, is there a difference in payscale between a local and foreign firm? In banking and law, there are distinct differences and foreign firms can pay up to 2 to 3 times that of local firms even at fresh grad level, albeit they tend to be very very selecive (i.e. our favourite punching bag - investment banking).
