Architecture & Interior design - A reality check

The reality of Architecture and Interior design consultation is a dramatic departure from what one expects at the time of graduation:
Respect and recognition as a professional !
No such luck, Almost every single day and every single client has to be enlightened about the existence of this noble profession and also that a consultant and contractor are different!
Follow ethics - No mercy here "competitions" for commercial space designs are all about who gets first to the powers that be and "convinces" them about their "design capablities" and soon, suddenly the competition is over.
Well I just realised that what was today has slowly turned to tomorrow, more tomorrow or today, whatever!
