Yeah legally I was told I couldn’t call myself “Architect” until I got my license so thats the impetus. But the real pain is when you lookup average salaries of an architect and you realize that software architects are skewing the curve dramatically. Building architects don’t earn nearly as well as software…

The word architect has more than one meaning. One has to do with buildings, another is the creator of something, in this case, software. A software architect is the creator of software.

A software architect is a piece of software that designs buildings. You sir are a software designer. N. Alexander Ligon | Architect | LEED AP

Persoanlly I don't think a statement was neccesary. Just tell the cop his name

Cop"Ok, tell me what happened. Why did you hit him?"
Big Jim "His name is Hayes McGinley. He's a lacrosse player for Syracuse"
Cop "You're free to go..."
