As an intern, your AIA membership is around $150/yr, but as a licensed person it's more like $600+/yr. If the office didn't pay for it, I'd be hard pressed to be a member. Record is part of the AIA dues.<BR/><BR/>Anon: No kidding about NYC. I've heard that the cost of living there is a nightmare. I'm in Denver, which is high in comparison to most of the US but much better than most decent-size cities in the country. We planned well for this moment, but we also know that luck played a factor in our situation.Mile High Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276750909800945131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461658247603905885.post-21526422322826106232009-03-13T15:07:00.000-06:002009-03-13T15:07:00.000-06:00clearly you don't live in ny where it is a bloodba...clearly you don't live in ny where it is a bloodbath and impossible to live here for more than a month because most of us live paycheck to paycheck.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461658247603905885.post-36800054931422579042009-03-09T08:53:00.000-06:002009-03-09T08:53:00.000-06:00You all don't pay for this, right?You all don't pay for this, right?xtinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12960024706010157642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461658247603905885.post-26675206005877187752009-03-06T09:31:00.000-07:002009-03-06T09:31:00.000-07:00Small Town: Here's what's funny about the "Archite...Small Town: Here's what's funny about the "Architecture 5 cents" guy--he's not even licensed, and usually the AIA gets their knickers in a twist about non-licensed folks giving advice, but here they are celebrating him. Hypocritical much, AIA?<BR/><BR/>MFrech: My colleagues and I noticed the thinness of this month's table leveler--um, I mean issue. Did you see the page covered in charts and graphs? Would it have killed them to use one more leaf of paper to give those graphics some breathing room? They were nearly indecipherable.

I especially liked the idea that we should all look to Shanghai and Abu Dhabi for work (Dubai is out now, even they're hurting).<BR/>The AIA is even better:<BR/>http://info.aia.org/aiarchitect/thisweek09/0220/0220n_navecon.cfmSmall Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882419924597286038noreply@blogger.com
