Answer 1

I wouldn't change my major because people made fun of me...do what you want to do...it's your life!

Answer 2

I am majoring in civil engineering and architecture. You could always get a degree in architecture and do interior design as well. The hardest parts of my schooling is math and physics. I only put up with it because I have a passion for architecture. Interior design is very in demand as well. You should really do what you want to and tell others to f*ck off if you enjoy it. If you or anyone else want talk more about it send me an e-mail.

Answer 3

How about interior architecture? I have known people who have been interior architects who have worked on projects from home design to shopping mall and department store interior architecture design. I'm not sure how difficult earning the degree may be but, there are state architectural licensing exams -- bar exams for licensure. Here, look at this site... it seems like a good intro article. Good luck!

Answer 4

You should pursue the career track that you enjoy! There are lots of jobs that other people don't fully understand.

Part of being an expert in a field is marketing yourself and educating people in what you can do for them as an interior designer. And the more you do it, the better known you'll be come and more clients you'll attract!

They'll get it!

Answer 5

keep in mind architecture is creative. you have to have ideas that separate yourself from the masses. workload is similar to any other major really. lots of math and some engineering involved. but finding a job is the rough part. very rough
