Swiss architect looking for better-paying and less soul-destroying career. Any architects here who changed fields entirely?

Greetings,

Me: Swiss architect, mid 30s, VD (speaks french and english, no german), 4y CFC building draftsman > 4y HES Architecture Bachelor > 1y in-house designer > 4y junior archi (current).

My current salary is 64000.- before taxes, and I can't see how that's enough to justify the level of stress, long hours, and responsibilities anymore... Spending my time making buildings for others, knowing I'll never be able to afford designing and building my own is slowly making me hate it all. Just like "work-go home-eat-sleep-repeat" is too.

(I was going to give more details about the "why", but just thinking about it makes me angry and depressed, and it's unnecessary to the question anyway.)

My skills lies more in the design part, and definitely not in the paperwork part (if I had known about product/industrial design before my studies, I'd have probably gone for that instead, but it was too late when I discovered what it was, and anyway there's no job or money to be made in those fields in Swiss unless you're a lucky one). I'm fairly good with tools and my hands, 3D printing, laser cutting, designing objects of all kinds, AutoCAD obviously (started learning Revit too), etc. but there's not much money to be made in the design field, and it's ultracompetitive, which I am not.

If I had known what I know now back when I was younger, I'd have never gone for architecture/design, and would have forced myself to learn how to code even if I don't have the brain for it, since that seems to be where the money and chill hours are nowadays... But I'm too old and don't have any affinity for it, so I'll never be competitive in the field even if I try to force myself into coding and actually succeed somehow.

I guess what I'm asking is, what kind of jobs are there for a mid 30s Swiss with decent pay and hours, that wouldn't require going back to school for several years (can't afford that, and no drive for studies anymore)

Especially, are there any architects here who changed career for better pay/hours, and what did you go into?

I'm open to more manual/hands-on jobs too, like part computer-part workshop or something. I used to work in a MakerSpace-like place and I loved it. I enjoy working with my hands, building things too (ideally a mix of designing it and then building it). But I'm open to anything, especially the less usual or less heard of jobs.

I'm really looking for ideas, advices, directions to look into that aren't the usual "change office", "consider adjusting to a different job in architecture field", "consider seeing a therapist", etc.

TLDR: Are there any architects here who changed career for better pay/hours, or anyone who quit their job/career due to stress/low pay, and what did you go into?

Thanks for any leads you guys could give me to look into. Have a good day.

People look for Java architects, but also explicitly want you to be a C++ architect, UI architect & Python architect at the same time.

Are there technical/solution architects who ended up regretting becoming an enterprise architect?

I am a technical/solution architect with about 18 years of experience in IT. I've always stayed close to the technology side of things and have recently worked for a software vendor in delivery roles. I've been recently offered 2 roles. One is as another technical architect for a different vendor in the data architecture space, the other is as an enterprise architect for a very large government department.

Though I've never been an EA before, I have worked with many, and have worked in large visible projects. I have also partially completed my TOGAF training... so I know what enterprise architecture is and what enterprise architects do. I've just never been one myself.

I've always enjoyed being close to technology, understanding how tech solutions fix specific problems... hence why I've worked in vendors and call myself mainly a "technical architect". I like the idea of being an EA, but not sure if I would necessarily enjoy the role. I'm not asking people if I'd like being an EA because none of you know me personally, but I'm wondering whether there is a common theme/pattern for technical architects who end up disliking being an EA. I know the skillsets for both jobs are different, but do many believe that good TA's don't necessarily become good EA's?

As you can see I'm a bit torn. The EA role for the fedgov is a pretty senior one. It will pay less than private for sure, so I only want to take it if I know there is a reasonable chance I will enjoy it and be successful as an EA. Or at the very least... can people please post questions that I should be asking myself?

Are there architects who actually use architect nibs?

Discussion

I'm studying architecture in university right now, and I thought it would be cool to get a pen that has an architect nib. It got me wondering, are there architects in the industry who regularly use a fountain pen with an architect nib?

Theory: Victoria ran into Ted at the Architects Ball on purpose. She knows he's an architect. She accepts the job catering desert for an Architecture event. His face had Also been on New York Magazine, so she likely knew he was doing well. She had to at least suspect he would be there.

TIL After hurricane Katrina Brad Pitt set up the Make It Right Foundation to build homes for those effected. The project had famous architects but the homes were not designed or constructed for a New Orleans environment. By 2022 only 6 of the 109 houses were deemed to be in "reasonably good shape."

Moses, the fake architect and designer, please take notes. This is what designer furniture looks like when it’s made from a real architect. Stop calling yourself one, you’re not even licensed. It’s a disgrace to real architects
