If I was looking at University now... my chosen course being 7 years instead of 3 (Architecture),

It's 5 years full-time study and if you have any sense you take a year or two out to work and earn money between years 3 and 4. Graduate salaries are around 21k, a bit more in London.

An average salary for an Architect is ~77k, which isn't bad -

Lol. Where'd you find that? This year's surveys show average (median) salary of £38.5k nationally - £42k in London, £36k non-London. Most places you'd need to be a partner/director to be earning that kind of money.

77k was the result of Googling.

I’m somewhat appalled to discover the reality.

You go and work in HK / Dubai / Quatar to earn actual money.

Architecture in the UK doesn’t pay because we don’t build much - as I understand it.

£40k is also "not bad" ... it's not appalling by any measure. But yes it's an unfortunate myth that architects make a *lot* of money.
