not very high
well if you want to make good money with interior design, then you’ll need tp run your own company. Its really hard work, but it is possible, make sure you minor in business too.
actually I’d total flip it. major in business minor in interior design. You’ll be happier in the long run.
Go get that degree
you a woman so you have no chance . now a gay man ok some rich lady will hire him to prance around wimp wristed and spend her husbands money .
its not that high of a demand, but you could do architect or clothes design
I agree go where your heart is but my dad tried to set up as an interior designer. After about 2 years of hard work and wasted thousands, he gave up. Be careful, you are wise to give it some thought. Good luck.
Take some business courses to learn how to build your own business.
Talented people can command high income…but you need to learn about how business can work for you.
I can tell you for sure that I will always know where I want to put my couch and TV.
Everything else pretty much takes care of itself, so therefore I won’t be needing your services anytime soon.
First of all, interior design is like interior architecture (as far as the way most programs I know of are set up). It sounds like you’ve got the right idea, since you like art and seem to like creativity. The thing with interior design is that you have to figure out your own niche. It’s not just one basic field. There are different aspects to it…exhibits designs, lighting designs, churches, offices, retail spaces, set designers,etc. You take your pick.
Since you are good at drawing, that is half the battle for designers. From what I know, people who can create good renderings for spaces are in demand. Most people can come up with at least a basic idea, but not everyone can visualize it enough to put it on paper so that others can understand what it will look like when it’s finished.
I think the demand for designers is about the same as most other industries, and has a lot of potential for you…it’s all about tapping into the right resources. A word of advice…when selecting a school, make sure that they have either a co-op or internship built in as a requirement in their degree program. It may seem pointless and frustrating while you’re doing it, but that at least gives you a company as a reference, or at least a place to return to when you graduate. This is very important because most design firms will not hire you until you’ve had experience in the field, and you can’t get experience if no one will hire you.
Good Luck with your decision!
