Interior Design Degree
What should i do? Interior Design degree or Photography degree?

I’m currently studying Bachelor of Design (Interior Design), however, I have the a strong passion for Photography. Im planning to transfer end of year, to do a photography degree at another University. However, I read that you dont need a degree to become a Photographer? Should i stick to Interior design or should i follow my dreams, and take up a Photography course/degree?

Hi Katie,

I went through something similar in my university days as well.

I was studying to be an engineer, but ultimately I realised that my true passion lay in helping people, so I envisioned a career in psychology instead. To drop my engineering studies and to pursue an honours degree in Psychology would have taken me another 4 years, rising to 6 if I wanted to practice.

I decided to complete my engineering degree, seeing as I only had one year to go, and took Psychology units as an elective to gauge how much I liked it. Ultimately, I didn’t end up in psychology, although I AM doing what I love today.

I encourage you to be flexible, if you’ve only got a year to go for your studies, then you wouldn’t lose much if your interest in photography is just a phase. I agree with the other contributors in that you can take up photography part time, and take a part time or technical course if necessary.

On the other hand, if you’ve only done a semester or a year in design and you know that you’re serious about photography, then I encourage you to take the leap and pursue your dream.

Believing In You!

Free Interior Design Autocad Software
Is there some software (free if poss) to design/plan the placing of furniture & interior layout of a house?

Is there something to create a virtual picture/diagram of my room layouts and move furniture around virtually? To scale would be nice, but anything similar would be helpful! A “drag and drop” programme, instead of physically moving furniture around to try out different layouts. Not autocad which is for architects – the house is up and fixed, just need to get the right furniture layouts to maximise the space inside. Thank you!

even better – if you want really easy three D things, than download Google Sketchup at

it rocks.
