Classes and training take many years when training for this occupation. Once the first two years are over, I will still not be considered a professional. A minimum of two years of practical experiences then required to be considered a professional designer. So you see, it isn t all fun and games as soon as school is over, I will then need to go back after certain time and complete more schooling. Most interior designers like to take refresher classes as well to keep up with new trends and styles.
Any independent employee needs self-motivation.
Often times it becomes a temptation to slack off on the job when there is no one around to tell you what to do, how to do, and when to complete it by. The only thing I will have is personal satisfaction when I am finished, and not to mention the paycheck. Personal contentment is usually enough to push a person to complete what is needed, and there will be nothing worse than an angry client breathing down my back. So as I explained creativity, patience, and self-motivation are important in my future career. I believe that in many people s careers these factors are important, especially when working in retail.
