I spoke with my professor, who just happens to be the Director of the Design Studies program here at ASU. And, from what he told me, the degree I am going for, BA in Design Studies with a focus in the Built Environment, is basically for people who couldn't get into the upper-divison Architecture program and are only looking to get their Masters in Architecture (MArch).
So, that basically made my mind up to go into the Architecture program here at ASU. I know I will have to work my butt off to prove myself and get into the upper-division classes, but I know I can do it. I have to work hard, concentrate, and exceed even my own standards.
It will take me 3 years, starting in the Fall, to complete the degree. Unfortunately, I cannot condense any of the classes, or merge them into the same semester, because each semester's classes are pre-requisets for the next semester classes. Unless I can somehow get over-rides .. nah .. that is such a bad idea! I need to take my time and do well! Things that are rushed are rarely ever done correctly.
So, here is a good estimate of how much I can make if I graduated now and entered the Architectural world::

I got this from Career Builder
I should follow my dreams, and do what I want to do. Only then will I be truely happy!
