There are now about twenty-five thousand students in the schools, about three thousand of whom are scheduled to receive first professional degrees this June. Twenty-five thousand students equal 40 percent of the registered architects in the country. If these enrollments were to keep up, and if the usual ratio of graduates to total enrollment remained what it has been in the years since World War II (by no means all those enrolled graduating), this would result in the addition of approximately fifteen thousand new architects to the ranks of the profession over the next five years.
I choose architecture because this is the profession I know best, although there will be occasional comparisons with other professions, especially law firms. My knowledge of architecture comes from working with architects over a period of thirty years, most recently in helping them to deal with a variety of management and career planning problems.
