Become An Interior Designer
Are you that person who every time a friend or family member moves, you’re standing among the unpacked boxes, giving your two cents about the design of each room? Why not put that creative energy to real financial gain? Interior design is a well-respected art form that is gaining strength in today’s economy. The U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports jobs for interior design are growing due to higher homeowner wealth and the expansion of private businesses. BLS also reports designers without the proper degree will have a harder time breaking into the business. Don’t fret! These days, quite a few art schools offer degrees in Interior Design. Currently, there are over 75 art schools that offer interior design programs, and these well-regarded and intensive programs will give you the competitive edge college art departments can’t.
Specifically, interior designers are responsible for selecting a color and style palette for an interior, as well as choosing the appropriate furniture, lightening, and textures that best accentuate the space and meet the needs of the building occupants. BLS reports annual average earnings for interior designers were over $40,000 in May 2005, with the highest 10 percent of those earning more than $70,000. 3 out of 10 interiors designers also go on to become self employed, so don’t let your knowledge of this art go to waste. Take advantage of this increased interest in interior design by researching art schools today.
