[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]36. Interior designer. [/quote]

Here's what I want to know:  Did you grow up rich?  Are most of your friends rich and well-connected?  I always wonder how people get successful doing this job and sort of assume it's something only people with the right sort of connections can really make serious money at.  Maybe I'm wrong.[/quote]

I grew up upper-middle class. My friends are everything from blue collar to full-on ballers. I started out working for a woman who ran her own company and had connections to "society" - she'd lived in the city for decades, seemed to know everyone, and was just great about introducing me. When she retired, she let me buy her business for a steal. I was absolutely very, very lucky in terms of being thrust into the homes of the 1%. Plus I genuinely do good work, so they ask me back and refer me to their friends. [/quote]

Are you really a certified interior designer or are you a decorator? I only ask because I think it's almost easier to make money as a decorator. [/quote]

Agree. I worked in commercial design for 4+ years in NYC and barely made over $60K even after passing the NCIDQ. Now I work in facilities in DC and make much more, but always think about doing 'decorating' on the side...[/quote]
