As I talk more and more with teachers and students at school I realize there is a very good chance that I won’t find work after graduation. One reason is my field is very competitive. Another is because I have poor credit. Employers can and do check your credit. Although I don’t agree with it. I keep thinking that because of this I may end up opening my own design business and doing things on my own.

I have decided to look into financial consolidation software to help me with this as I hear is a great way to make sure everything you do is legal. When it comes to interior design there are so many things you have to worry about. I’m sure you don’t think there are and I didn’t at first either but there are many financial problems that can happen.

Say you hire a designer and they ruin your home. You may end up suing them for the damage done. Hopefully you don’t have to, but it does happen. That designer then needs to have insurance to cover that or be able to pay out of pocket for the expense.

Another example is a customer orders furniture and can not pay for it. If it’s custom you as the designer may be stuck with the bill. Interior design is not just about paint. You have so much more to deal with. It can be fun, but you have to watch yourself.

I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
