is there any scope in interior designing? I am a graduate in economics.

What perks come along with this career? Being an interior designer is a fun and creative job. There is no monotonous work as every single client has different expectations and this makes sure that the work keeps changing and is kept interesting. The work is also very rewarding because of the different number of options which an interior designer can specialise in. There are many different paths that an interior designer can take. Moreover, the salary scope for an interior designer is very high, thus making it a very attractive field to enter. There is also a lot of advancement in the interior design career. You may start off as a junior designer and end up as a partner in a firm. Along with that, interior designing lets you be free and allows the creative genius in you run wild. What downsides are there in this career? An interior designer has no fixed clientele. Only when new projects come about, will the interior designer get a chance to work. The industry is also fast moving, which means that the interior designer has to be aware of the different trends and fads to keep evolving their designs. Customers may also be difficult in terms of convincing that your designs are the best. The interior designer has to be very confident about the design so that he/she can sell it to the client. Along with this, studying interior design is very expensive as well as difficult because of the constant portfolio reviews. How is the competition? Becoming an interior designer is not easy because the industry is closed. However, if you have the basic principles and the passion, you can become an interior designer. One way of entering the industry and creating a good impression with potential future employers is to get internships to gain real world knowledge. Between 2008 and 2018, the interior design employment was expected to grow from 19%-20% thus proving that the industry is growing. Interior design does not have the structured career path or clear promotion-based approach found in many other industries. This is partly due to the very diverse nature of the design world and its liking for self-employment, but also because this is a creative industry. To a large extent, interior designers must make their own career initiative, ambition, and individual skill and creativity are the keys to success. Luck can be an important factor too.
