Best Jobs for 2012

According to U.S. News and World Report, being an architect is one of the 50 best jobs for 2012 (#2 in the Creative Services field).

'The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects architect employment growth of 23.1 percent between 2010 and 2020.' 

Many of the comments on the U.S. News website dismiss the estimates as wishful thinking or fantasy. Could the economic outlook from the Bureau of Labor Statistics accurate? Could many architects be stuck looking at the recent economic recession and missing the forest for the trees?

Or are we relegated to be a punchline about high unemployment (Want a Job? Go to College, and Don't Major in Architecture - NY Times)

Let's hope 2012 is a year to celebrarte in the architectural industry.
