Read the American Institute of Architects website to understand what Architects do. If you love construction and building and excel at math, consider Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering. Graduating Engineers have higher salaries than graduating Architects. If you like Construction management, being in the field and physically being part of creating a building, consider a career degree in Building Construction. The University of Florida has one of the best Building Construction schools in the country. When I graduated in Architecture, Construction Management Graduate Salaries were also significantly higher.

So it's not like you would be at a disadvantage :) it seems that majority of architects (at least in my area) have 0 artistic flair and about as much idea of functionality too (door next to a fireplace, srsly?).
