	Description:		When I was first starting work in the data space, we had an architect at the large company that employed me. This individual reviewed new application proposals, decided on platforms and technologies, and mostly went to a lot of conferences.

As a young person in a career, I both coveted the job (good pay and hours), and thought it ought to be eliminated. These days I think architecture is important, at least at a coordinating level. I don't know that it needs to be a full time job, but we need a person not too distracted by daily work examining how we build our systems. Perhaps this is the type of position that someone with a lot of experience that wants to work part time ought to hold. If you have such a position, call me in about 15 years.
