Dean,

Architecture is a brutal career. Long hours, low pay (comparatively speaking), arrogant clients and very little recognition. But I wouldn't change a thing. Very much a romantic field. Drafting is only about 30% of the process. Mostly coordinating everything from structure, details, budget (our enemy), materials, consultants, Owners, just to get the design you want.
My biggest satisfaction is driving by a building I designed. Don't care if it's a fast food restaurant or a Medical clinic. I still get a charge out of it.

The rendering software? Don't know. I provide CADD drawings to a rendering company and a few days later I get proofs to review.
