Fresh architecture graduate, should have done interior design...
I just graduated from a 5 year architecture program. I’ve been at my full time job at an amazing firm for a few months. Since about my 4th year, I fell out of love with architecture. I have always been drawn to the more space planning, interior design, interior architecture side over typical architecture. I am not happy. I wish I would have done interior design. With that being said, I need to stay at this job obviously to 1. Pay the bills and 2. Gain experience. What advice would you guys have for a designer who is passionate about design and not sitting behind a computer in a cubicle working on structures all day? I am able to take the Interior Design exam with my degree to become a licensed interior designer, or I can stick at a firm get hours and take my 6 AREs. Which I am not passionate about it why would I spend that much time and money on exams when I want to be a different type of designer. Would it be helpful? Or should I just shoot for the Interior design path?
Sincerely,
An extremely lost post-grad arch student
