    10 skills: "He who sweats more in training, bleeds less in war. " A huge amount of information will be thrown at you. Start to learn it asap!
    1. Design Boards. A collection of images put together. Design direction: color, palette, theme, vibe, mood you want to create. Mood boards, concept boards, furniture boards, material boards.
    2. Composition (primarily used in arts field, such as music, photography, painting, writing). Good composition includes a balance and variety in shapes, colors, and materials to create a pleasing environment. Principles and elements of design. Other disciplines of arts.
    3. Communication. Interior design presentations. Job opportunities and design businesses.
    4. Softwares. Sketchup (2D & 3D) + AutoCAD
    5. Terminology. Interior design vocabulary. eg. Window treatment, upholstery, wainstcotting, hue, shingles, lumen, layered, faux, facade, CRI, sheen, clerestory, siding, trim, hue, focal point, vessel sink, vaulted, lever, niche, etc.
    6. Drawing and sketching. Before digitalize it. Turn your abstract ideas into the fine concepts. Don't need to be a perfect drawer. Making your point through rough sketch.
    7. Seven elements of design. Space, light, texture, line, pattern, color, and form. (Link in below)
    8. Principles of design. Balance, unity, rhythm, emphasis, contrast, scale and proportion, harmony. (Link in below)
    9. Standard measurements. Every single measurement inside public and private spaces. Widths, heights, depths, sizes of everything. Memorize them and know it by heart. Make the process faster. Bring a measuring tape and measure every single thing you see.
    10. Materials. Not all design programs will teach the in-depth of construction materials. Not the foundation concrete in your world, but the materials that interior designers will choose to design spaces. Counter material, floor material, fabrics of chairs. Suitable for that application. eg. Marbles. A soft stone can chip and stain very easily.

      I can’t tell about graphic or ui/ux design cause I am not very familiar with those careers but interior design has opportunities depending in the country that you live, here in Canada there are good opportunities while in my hometown (Mexico) there weren’t as many. If you are looking for good colleges, there is many, you just want to make sure that they are CIDA accredited, not all schools are and this accreditation ensures that the program is up to date with industry standards.

    Sketchup? Really? I'm using Sketchup now because it's free and I'm broke, but it's a pig of a program to work with!
    It doesn't tell you your coordinates except at the origin, all its lines and planes automatically engage with each other and different layers can't use the same plane unless you create separate objects, and the colours change drastically and very unrealistically when you change camera angle.
    How is this the best software you can find?
