Architectural Designs

My major is Interior Design, but how do I know if thats the right career for me?

This fall i will attend an undergraduate university to study interior design, i am excited but nerves at the same time. Is there anyone who is already in the profession who could get me some advice. What convinced you to becoming an interior designer? Can you also describe a normal day at your job. thanks in advance.

1. I felt this way about fashion design. I love the hands on creative aspect, but went to school terrified it wouldn't fit for me. I was afraid I wouldn't excel in the construction, creativity, or other aspects of this. I took my first year and I LOVED IT. The people in my classes were fun, my teachers were great, and overall I enjoyed it. It won't hurt to take some classes. If you really feel you enjoy it, but decide not to major, you won't have lost anything, but gained friends, knowledge in the area, and some fun classes. This is how you know it's right for you: Do you look forward to your classes and activites and assignments? Do your grades reflect your desire? You may make awful grades overall, but at least it can be a hobby for you or you may make fantastic grades, but the drive just isn't there for you (Don't worry about your creative aspect, you'll be graded on meeting requirements rather then your own ideas) Does this feel fun and fulfilling for you? I only dropped out because I want to do something to make a difference, I made great grades and loved the classes, but I really want to do something more...I still plan on going back and getting my degree because it can always be a fall back career and it's something I really enjoy
