Interior Design
The field of Interior
Design is becoming more high-tech. Today's designers use computer-aided
software instead of drawing pencils. They surf the Internet for
furniture and patterns from all over the world instead of buying
only from local stores. They collaborate via computer with designers
in other countries to coordinate designs for multi-national hotel
chains and corporations.

For
this reason, college degree programs of education in Interior Design
are a combination of science and art. Because this field is highly
competitive, most designers need to graduate from an Associate,
bachelor or masters of fine arts degree program and work as apprentices
for several years. Twenty-three states have licensing requirements
for interior designers.
About a third of the
65,000 American interior designers are self-employed. Many specialize
in areas like kitchen or patio design. Designers who specialize
in nursing homes, hospitals and other healthcare facilities are
currently in demand.
