Is interior desinging a good job choice? |
my dad talked with me yesterday saying interior designing will be a good job choice for me and that i will make a lot of money off of it too. i suck at drawing though. im 15 and going the 11th grade and am at the point where college is getting more and more important. so is interior designing any good? i looked at some sites and they seemed all right....but is the job well paying and worth it? It depends on where you're wanting to live... if you're wanting to live in a larger city, then yeah interior design will probably be a good choice... if you can get people to like your style...even if you're good, if they don't like your style, they won't use your ideas... You'll take college classes that teach you to draw, and all that fun stuff. I did architecture, and couldn't draw AT ALL! But by the end of the first delineation class, it's easier...also if that's what you decide to do, you should start practicing drawing... you can check out books at the library to give you a head start. (school library, or county/city library.) But, if you don't enjoy looking at spaces (rooms, etc...) and deciding what types of fabric and wood, and accents would make the room, then, it probably would not be worth it. The textile classes (if you're not into the stuff) SUCK. Three or four hours a week (in class... more if you actually study-which is always a good idea...) learning about the difference between taffeta and twills...and why hunter green is a better choice for a certain project than forest green...blah blah. But, as with anything you do... once you're done with the classes and "in the real world", it's all worth it....but you have to like what you do for it to be worthwile. You could send e-mails to firms and offices online ...asking why they chose interior design, etc... or look in the yellow pages of the phone book and see if you can meet with someone in your area. It doesn't have to be interior design... see what else interests you and talk to someone who's doing it. Most people won't be opposed to talking to you... if you find an alum of the college(s) you're looking at going to, they'll probably be even more 'eager' to talk to you. According to the website linked below (jobs in Florida), and interior designer's entry salary is $26,307.00...the average is $48,168.42...and experienced pay is $59,098.62 Of course, if you live in New York, or California, or near a major city in just about any state, it may be more...especially if you come up with something that everyone can't live without! You can find what it is for your state, google your state then "job market" or "what do jobs pay" and in most states it will bring up a list like the one linked below. But, whatever it is you decide to do... just make sure you LOVE it...at least the majority of the time ;o) (face it... we all have days we'd rather stay in bed than go to work, or school... or do whatever responsible things we're supposed to do for the day.) Source(s): http://www.whatpeopleareasking.com/jobs_... You will never be successful if you hate what you do... if you really want to make money and be succesful step 1 : LOVE WHAT YOU DO! thats taken straight from donald trump and we all know how succesfull he is...well except for his hair. . lol No job is a good job unless you LOVE what you do. don't be pushed into something you don't have a passion for. If you can't get excited over the prospect of doing it every day for the rest of your life, DON'T DO IT! Interior design is very good once you get your degree and have worked for a company for a year or two (its like doing an internship). Drawing is an important part of the job but it is not the whole job. You will learn in college what you are looking for in a drawing and how to do standardized drawings for the trades. There is a lot of color and materials matching along with selection of furnishings. One other thing you will be working in a clean, comfortable office environment. Go for it. |
