Last Entry of the Semester!

Me with my supportive Husband

Last Entry

I can't believe this is the last blog entry of the semester. I learned so much in this class, and it really combined well with the fast learning curve I am on in my current job. I hope that my work experience, combined with my Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Management, will help me be highly successful in Interior Design.

Entrepreneurs are Unique 

I liked learning about the various entrepreneurs. It was interesting to find out that they actually come from many different back grounds. For some reason, they each have had a relentless determination to make their mark on the world. Most of them are trying to leave this world a better place, even as they have found ways to fill needs in the marketplace.

 

Interior Design Graduates Often Don't Make It

I learned a fact about Interior Design that I found absolutely shocking. It was from the head of the Interior Design Department at Scottsdale Community College, which is where I earned my three year Interior Design degree. She told us that only 1 out of 37 Interior Design graduates actually make a long term career in this field. It is hard to find a great position where potential designers will receive the mentoring they need to progress.

 

I Will Succeed!!!

I am hopeful for my own future. I will graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Business Management from BYUI in Spring 2017.  I am also counting mentoring hours hours with my boss to become eligible to earn my Professional Interior Design National Certification (NCIDQ). After I accomplish those things, I will have a decision to make. Will I stay at my current place of employment, or will I start my own Interior Design business?  I know whatever I decide, the future is bright.
