Are there any Architects or Interior Designers who could tell me what their career is like? I've no idea what to even expect, if this is a job I could excel in... Or if it'd just end up being a huge waste of time/money. I need to find motivation to make big scary changes in my life.
Do you like trends? Do you like flipping through magazines / pinterest for style inspiration? Do you have an eye for unique furniture?
I mean the thing I think of when I think of an interior designer is that they work with clients to make a room feel a certain aesthetic with staying in some sort of budget. So working with people, knowing trends, and shopping. But since I don't know much about the job -- I'm sure there could be more to it.
Why not challenge yourself. Why not rearrange your bedroom or your living area to look different. Maybe add 1-2 small pieces (A pillow, rug, or something like that-- could be something vintage, or found at a thrift store. Don't need to make it expensive.) to spice it up. If you enjoyed turning your space into something new, I'd say you'd like being an interior designer.
I think being a photo stylist is somewhat of a similar profession if you want to look into that too..
