Listen "I went from being in big DEBT to clearing all my DEBT in 12 months"
Episode Synopsis
This is the second recorded episode of The Broke Architect Podcast brought to you by the Global Architect Alliance (GAA).
In this episode I talk to Andy Shaw, a director of AMA architects in Dubai, UK. We discuss architecture education at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, UK and the stress of studying there.
We talk about debt and it's impact but also how in 12 months a move to the UAE lead to Andy paying off all of his debt in 12 months. We discuss what it's like to practice architecture in UAE and how if you are experienced and qualified you can earn substantially more than in the UK where Andy is from.

The Architects Benevolent Society founded in 1850 exists to support the architectural community and their families and can help you in a range of ways during your working life, or once you have retired..
