I am going to graduate college in 2008. I am getting my degree in Interior Design with a minor in Child Development. I am interested in residential interior design and professional organizing in the Interior Design area. I have also taken theater design classes and really like set and prop design. I am also considering being a nanny, party planner, or personal assistant. There are several other things like these that interest me. Tell me what you think about these jobs. Are there any others like these that you think might be fun? I am just wondering what people think about my possibilities. Also, if someone knows how to help me get a job like one of these that would be appreciated as well.

Have you thought about interning or volunteering to work in any of the areas that interest you? That may help you figure out the best path.

There is nothing wrong with not being sure by the way. I think it makes life incredibly exciting to feel passion about different career tracks. I've worked in so many different fields and have enjoyed every single one of them.

Just try different things and see where it leads. Good luck - this is pretty exciting time in life.

I Can Tell You This, What Ever You Decide To Do Make Sure Its What You Love, I Hear So Many People Say How Unhappy They Are Because They Don't Like What They Do, But It Pays The Bills.
There's Good Money In Interior Design, What Can Help Is Getting In With A Contractor That Builds Homes, Custom Homes, And You Could Work With The Customers To Pick Out The Colors And Fabrics And So On.
Some Of The Bigger Home Improvements Business Will Have Job Openings, What Id Really Say To Is Make You Some Business Cards, Not Cheap Ones Either, Pass These Out And See If You Can Get Your Foot In The Door Somewhere Like... lowes Home Improvement, You Can Work There While Meeting A lot Of People Everyday That Could Use Your Help, You've Got To Get Your Name Out There, Word Of Mouth Will Do The Rest, Good Luck
