ARCHITECTURE - The World's Toughest course!


It's been a while, I've been very busy with the summer rush designing schools whilst all the kids are off! Something to surprise them with when they all get back in September...
Anyway, I thought I'd post this as it can be the base of some discussion among the professions.

"ARCHITECTURE has been chosen as the toughest course amongst all the courses including MBBS, BCOM, IAS, IPS and ENGINEERING by the Guinness Book of World Records on 18 MAY 2011. It has 64 university exams + 174 assignments + 40+ Major Projects within 5 years (1200 working days) plus 2 years (1000 working days) work experience..."

This seems to be doing the rounds amongst my online architecture graduate community...I would love to say it's true but I very much doubt it. It is one of the hardest courses of study to become an architect and I would rank it highly amongst TOUGH courses but I'm sure there are harder professional courses before one becomes fully qualified...If you can name a longer, harder and more strenuous course than architecture then feel free to leave a comment...
