What's the Best Title?

It's not uncommon for Florida to be different from the rest of the country. In fact, Florida is one of the many places where things are very different - from culture to climate and education to architecture. Even in the case of unlicensed architects' title, Florida stands alone as "applicants."

Recently AIA released an article by Katie Harms, AIA ("What do you want to be called in 2010?") that is surveying AIA architects and associates about the issue of "intern titling." For those that have achieved licensure or those in the process know it takes hard work to acheive the title "architect" and those that are in AIA have a title of Associate, but how does the state refer to you?

Tell us your thoughts.
