What do Buckingham Palace, your house and The London Eye all have in common?

They were all designed by architects.

Just what does an architect do?
How do I get to be one?
To be an architect you have to study for seven years on a recognised university course. It does take a long time to train as an architect and finding a well paid job at the end is not guaranteed. Most students take about 8-9 years to qualify and many of those who start an architecture course do not make it through to the final qualification, leaving to pursue other careers.
