Previously I discussed new design trends of 2013. Design trends don't just mean color, texture pattern but that also can mean trends in the job market and in design education. Throughout my research I have found that in Mississippi, interior design jobs are limited. Most only need a bachelors degree and much enthusiasm to get the job.
http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca states that, "Job opportunities will result mainly from the need to replace interior designers who will be retiring or will be leaving the occupation to work in education, sales and purchasing materials related to interior design, or because they have been promoted to management positions, either in interior design, or in the retail trade for household furniture, furnishings or hardware. People can also advance their careers within the same occupation. Thus applicants often start out as junior designers to advance to jobs as intermediate and then senior designers or project managers. After several years, they can set up their own business and open up an interior design office. In fact, approximately 39% of all interior designers were self-employed in 2006, a proportion that is close to four times higher than for all occupations (11%)."
Design education is also another trend. according to http://www.pyeinteriors.com there are seven trends arising in interior design based education. Here are the trends in education according to pyeinteriors.com: sustainability, support teaching and learning, integrate technology, provide flexibility, encourage collaboration, attract and retain students and teachers, and lastly build community.
