Yeah, it's definitely not a slamdunk easy decision by any means....especially when he's already spent so many years in school.

I think it all depends on where he is in life and how serious he is about it as a career, and not just a job. If he knows for sure architecture is not for him, and graphic design is, then I recommend doing it right because eventually he'll be out of architecture anyway. If he still thinks his current path is a viable option, then it may make sense to do the freelance route to see how he likes it first.

Maybe your agency should give him a PT internship!
