Landscape Architecture or Architecture Salaries?
Does Landscape Architecture have a better salary than normal Architecture or is it the other way around or are they both similar? What would be the starting price for a masters graduate? I've seen a lot of information on the internet but I was just wanting some first-hand experienced advice.

- By "normal" architecture I take it you mean buildings! And a true Architect is a highly trained engineer with a creative streak. It is very different than Landscape Architecture which is closer to a naturalist/botonist/agricultural degree. Before you make a career decision based on the money you'll make do some more research on exactly what these people spend their day doing and what knowledge they have to have. You may be capable of learning either of these professions but if you don't like what you are doing you won't be happy no matter how much money you make. I can do basic accounting - doesn't mean I want to be an accountant. I may want to be a Doctor - doesn't mean I can learn all I'd have to nor that I'd want the responsibility even if I did make a bunch of money! If you have access to a school counselor ask about doing a work preference assessment test.
