Actually, I'm pretty damn surprised that Engineers, Architects and Surveyors all had the lowest rate of depression. Must be the Engineers and Surveyors making-up for the Architects, because we're an alcoholic, angst-ridden, cliquish group. Then again, folks with egos as huge as an Architects also don't think they're wrong enough to hit that downward depression slide. :-D

People with steady, good paying jobs are less prone to depression? Say it ain't so!  Or maybe those folks are more 'normal' to begin with. |

Makes me wonder how they did their research. Physicians have one of the highest rates of divorce, alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicide despite their "high-paying, steady jobs".

I'm suspecting that they didn't poll anyone currently going to architecture school. I've never known any group of people to work more steadily than that. How the hell do you put up with so much studio time? |

Supposedly the optimal happiness earnings per year is $42k (in the US anyway).

I want to perform studies. Seems like a job with little depression.

You don't. In case you hadn't noticed, we're all quite fucking insane. Actually, it's all about the beer, cigs, the parties afterwards and - for a chunk of my classmates - the weed. Those of us who didn't do one of the four either didn't make it, or tended to get really crappy grades in studio. Thank God for free electives. (Those who didn't do any of the 4 AND got decent grades? Well, I roomed with one of them and I expect his energy came because he and his fiancee weren't having sex until marriage. Go go blueball energy.) The fun times were around project deadlines, when everyone's running on 2-3 hours of sleep for every 30-48 hours awake. Combine that with nicotine shakes and x-acto blades and Woo, lots of trips to emergency room or near-misses abound. |

Funny.... that sounds a lot like the anatomy lab in med school. |
