Is It Possible To Start A Career In Interior Design Without Going To School For It?

A lot depends on the design firm. Often, apprentices or interns are hired while they are going to school to build their portfolio. But, generally to work on-site or with clients, you need a degree. That doesn’t mean you won’t be hired to do office work or assist with running the business and maybe have some hands on work for a specific project.
Without the proper credentials you may get hired but paid little.
You may however start and get the experience and then get an education. Some Schools over Internet studies and certificates.
Good luck.
