Hi everyone,
I'm moving to NYC this summer, but I don't have enough information to make the first step. I'll be graduating with a master degree in architecture, with some co-op experience in Michigan. So could anyone please tell me how is the job market out there for architects and what is the salary range for those who are fresh out of college? Also what are some cheap and fun neighborhoods for young people to live in?

Any advice you might have is appreciated!
Thanks

entry level you'll be making anywhere from $30K-$50K, depends on how big the firm is.

Job market sucked the past 2 years but it's picking up again slowly.

He'll need to work for a licensed architect for a few years before he can even sit for the exams.
