Could I get enough money in Japan if I were an architect? And if not what job could I do to make enough money?
If  I were to be a foreign exchange student to Japan from the United  States, would I be able to obtain enough money in that line of work to  live comfortably? (decent apartment, enough food, water, and maybe some  other luxuries like internet and phone.)

a study visa has some pretty strict restrictions to what kind of work/how much work you can do.

Please  understand that foreign exchange student is not someone who can earn  money.  If you want to earn, you have to graduate from school and find a job.  It's not realistic to think that you can be an architect in Japan. It's  difficult even for Japanese to become an architect. You must pass  architect exam which is very hard.  But if you become, you can earn enough.  If you just want to have (decent apartment, enough food, water, and  maybe some other luxuries like internet and phone.), it's enough even if  you are working as English teacher.  What's really expensive in Japan is education of children. So if you  want to marry and have children in Japan, you must have better jobs.
