This should have given you a pretty good idea of what you may generally
expect from your career as a designer. You may be wondering how the economy
plays a role in this particular career choice. The answer is simple. If the
local or national economy is going through a recession, or depression, the
potential to encounter any new clients is rather small if at all.
Current clientele cannot afford to hire an interior designer if the economy is
suffering, no one can. In times like this, people are a lot more careful about
how they spend their money, and hiring an interior designer seems more frivolous
than it might seem under normal circumstances. Of course, during most economic
conditions, an interior designer can always locate someone that is willing and
eager to hire them.
