I delivered pizzas after I got my architecture degree and didn't magically find my dream job. The internship program is 3 years at near minimum wage after a masters degree, because that's the way it has always been. Never mind trying to take and pass the architects exam which staggeringly few pass the first time.

I 'do' architecture for fun now and make far more money than nearly everyone I went to college with. Assuming that they are even working.
