Advices to anyone who wants to study interior design at schools

If you have the following characteristics, you shouldn't study interior design and become interior designers. Otherwise, you will hit the career hurdles like you have never imagined before:
  1. Introverted, not social: If you are not a social butterfly, the chance for you to meet the wealthies and establish the client base is low. Anyone who is born to rich or married to a wealthy will have more chances to become a successful interior designer than you do even if you have all the interior design education and credentials. This is especially hurting those creative individuals because most of creative people are usually quiet and not very social.
  2. Not knowing wealthies, no connections: If you don't know wealthy people or well connected, no matter how creative you are or how well you can draw or design, you won't be able to compete with any designer who doesn't know anything about interior design but know many wealthy people because those well connected people will have more potential clients than you do.
  3. Having Integrity: If you have huge integrity, then you shouldn't become an interior designer unless you are going to work for someone for the rest of your life because most of the interior designers started out on their own by taking away their ex-employers' clients. That is just what it is in this field. Other people's loss is your personal gain. That is how you climb up to the ladder.
