I always give people the advice, especially young people, to follow the career that you enjoy doing. If architecture is something that you enjoy doing then do it. If you follow a career path that you enjoy then it will feel less like work and more like a hobby. Software architecture isn't for everyone, some people enjoy it and some people don't.

I might add that I think that "Networking" and "Facilitating" are the most important parts of architecture. Most architects that I have met that have not been happy in their work are unhappy because software engineers don't follow what the architect has designed. This is invariably the fault of the architect not engaging with the developers, and not networking and facilitating them to follow where the architect leads. Software architecture is a lot more than just drawing lines and boxes on a UML diagram. It is all about making the engineers follow the architecture.
