Why has the speaker's mother had difficulty becoming a registered architect?
with architecture, you can practice being an architect without being a registered architect. But if you're a registered architect, you can get higher paying jobs. And my mom's been trying to get registered forever, but because she had my sister and I, it's been harder for her, because you have to take like a total of like 10 tests. You have to actually pass those tests, but like she doesn't have time to study because she was taking care of us, or she was taking care of her parents.
