Hi everyone!

I’m 22 years old and about to graduate from my Psychology degree. I made the wrong choice - I wish I’d followed a more creative path, but hey, that’s life.

Eventually, my dream is to develop property and have my own business. This will take a long time and a lot of saving up, so I know I can’t do this straight after Uni.

In the meantime, I’d love to start a career in interior design or painting and decorating (or something similar).

Does anyone know how I can get into this line of work? Do you know of any apprenticeships or training? Or any jobs where I can just get straight in there?

Of course, I’m looking around myself too and researching it, but I just wondered if anyone out there could give me any help.

Thanks in advance!

I’m in the UK by the way

I would like to learn a new skill of interior decorating, professional organizer, personal shopper or drive a company car/van to deliver food as a personal shopper for seniors, etc. Is there any school/college that is free and will train you in these areas? Is there any company that I can work for and do these things I’ve mentioned? I’m dependable, reliable and love to do a great job with a smile and zest.

I have a certificate as an interior decorator and I wanted to start my own business out of my home. Before I go any further I was woundering if anyone has had success as an interior decorator?

I am considering taking up interior design. What can you tell me about this field? I want to know both good and bad. If you are a student,please explain to me your experiences as to whether or not if the studying is hard because I have heard that you have to put in at least 30 hours a week of study time.And I would like to hear the views of people who work in the field. Has it been rewarding or a disappointment,please explain in details. I want only serious responses and only from people who are actually familiar with this trade.

I have a degree but not in Interior Design but have been doing my own design and for friends for years. I want to have the license so I can go in and make purchases on behalf of clients. How do I get an official license?
So someone below says all you need to do is get a business license and you don’t need a degree. I can definitely do that very easily - just form an LLC and get the license. Is there anything else I need to do and is this correct? I don’t need a degree or have to take some sort of course to get a certificate or something?

I currently have a degree in Graphic Design, but I’ve been considering starting a Wedding planning buisiness or becoming an Interior Designer. I plan to go back to school either way, but I don’t know anyone in these fields. So I’m wondering how hard it is to get into these fields and be succesfull. I have a little experience doing both and think I’d really enjoy either one.
Thanks in advance!
I hadn’t really thought of commercial or domestic interior design. They would probably both be pretty rewarding. I suppose commercial would be a little better with larger budgets and customers probably have a clearer idea of what they want.
