How much more do you need to do to finish your degree? I may not be popular here, but I think it would be good to finish it. Then you can change, but at least you will have it completed.

 I haven't been real serious about it (I have only been taking 2 classes a semester).  If I decided that this is what I need to do, I will pick up the pace and hopefully, I can finish next year. 

Honestly, I think that I should just finish my degree and dabble in design, ie. a blog and just have fun with a blog!! I don't know why I make things so hard ;)

 i'm liking this idea - i like the idea of finishing what's started.  design is something you TOTALLY do on the side anyway - you spend a ton of time on it - so i think if you started a blog (and/or visited real estate agencies about home staging) you could still do that in conjunction with finishing your degree.

then again i'm someone who's constantly working on a plan B (to the detriment of my plan A always - lol) - i have this same debate with yoga (do i get certified and teach, or do i just keep it as my side thing/hobby) - i think some people are just dabblers by nature and should pursue a life of dabbling :) 

 I thought you were thinking of doing that. i was wondering what you had decided. 

 its on hold for the  year - obviously i dont have time with my position right now - but maybe next fall.

FWIW, I was a decorator for a chain furniture store when I lived in Florida. They hired people that did not have a decorator background or education. In some sense it was easy because there was a floor plan to follow, but I did get to do creative things too. I learned and did soooo many painting techniques and it gave me an opportunity to try out different styles. When stock was low it could become challenging, but that was kind of fun too. I don't know if you could find something like that part time until you finish your degree, but it's a thought. I also like the blog idea ALOT! Finish your degree. It will feel good.

 I didn't know that, LIbby!!  (If i was 20 years younger, I think I would love it) but, i think I am too old to deal with that ;)
