What would be the smartest path for someone studying Interior Design? Would just an associates degree be worth it? Is the degree worth it at all? I would love to get some insight from people who have pursued an Interior Design degree.

Currently studying Interior Design at a community college, wondering if a transfer to a four year for Interior Design is worth it or if I should just start looking for a job after I get my associates.
