engineers cannot do architecture. you got to be kidding.
things that stand up are often ugly.
archtects are dreamers. look at me.
nothing i designed stood up.
That's what I meant. We are not engineers. We make the headaches for the engineers.

Speaking as a civil/structural engineer who considered switching to architecture in college, I enjoyed the creative and technical challenges and collaborations resulting from working with architects, but from a business/financial standpoint it unfortunately became a no go.

Finding the right niche is the only way...along with being the business owner. I struggled for many years prior.

Indeed, if your not pushing your structural engineer you might be doing it wrong...unless that PE is Arup, who I've had the pleasure of working with one time.

Well, pot growing is the fastest emerging market. All kidding aside, that is going to be one industry to get in on the ground floor.

I do custom residential primarily.
