Is architecture engineering that hard?

I heard that it’s one of the hardest majors ever. Also how long will it me take to find a job after graduating?

    Hi Meiry,
    I didn't think an architectural engineering major was hard - but then, I liked it! I took a few business classes as part of my degree and thought they were hard although many of my fellow students considered them "easy" classes. Easy and hard are different concepts for everybody! My advice is find some that interests you so that even when classwork is difficult or challenging, you're motivated to keep finding the answers for yourself. Finding a job after graduating has a lot to do with the job market at the time, so it's difficult to predict. When I graduated, 100% of my class had jobs or graduate school right away. Choosing a good school program with many industry contacts helps too. Schools that have busy career fairs and professors partnered with research at local businesses are all good indicators of a solid reputation.
    Best wishes,
