What is the best way to get into interior design or interior decorating? Wanting to change career from sales/customer service background.

What is the best way to get into interior design or interior decorating? I have a degree in psychology along with plenty of other professional experience in sales, customer service, and have run my own business making personalized gifts and event decor. I don't live near a big city so very few design studios in the area. Is there an online course or anything I could do that would give me a leg up if I am able to find a relevant position near me? I cannot move too far away, but am happy to travel semi regularly for consultations etc.

How do I build a technical writing portfolio?

My background is in physics, so my writing opportunities outside of lab reports have been limited. Where do I start in building a portfolio without specific tasks to fulfill? I start a master's program in Technical Communications this fall. I know those assignments will likely help as well, I just wanted to get a head start if I can.

I have an M.A in English Literature, but I've always had an interest in psychology and would want to pursue a career in it. Could you help me with some recommendations and advice?

I realized that friends and family often come to me with issues that bothers them. I've been told that I'm a good listener, and even though I don't really know what to say at times, I somehow make them feel better. I would love to refine my capacity to listen to others, hence psychology. I'm applying to schools in Canada/USA and the question I get asked is "what course are you looking at?"

Is it typical for someone to change their job several times outside of the subject of their first job throughout their lifetime?

I'm a rising sophomore in college and I'm interested in pursuing several different science topics. I am curious to see if it is common for people to change their job to something completely different after doing something for a long period of time? #career-counseling #career-choice #changing-careers

How difficult is it to change careers?

I'm a senior in high school and upon entering college I am becoming more and more worried about my future. I don't really know what I want to study in or make into a career path, so I was wondering how locked in are you once you declare a major and begin your career path? #science #majors #theatre #changing-careers #multiple-interests
