I am 16 and my goal in life is to become and architect. What steps should i take to achieve this goal and what kind of schooling do I need to acquire to become the best possible architect I can be? I have heard I can get degrees to cut out other peoples jobs in the process of building a building by getting a "Drafts man" degree I think? Thus allowing me to make more money by doing the job of more than one person and still have it go along with my primary job. Is that possible?

I have recently qualified in 2D CAD city and guilds and I would like to become an architectural CAD technician. I am planning on studying the inventor course in parametric modelling. Is it just a case of writing to companies? Would a company take me on as a trainee and then how far can you progress in your career? Would they for example allow you leave to study?
