I'm a frustrated interior designer.
It's not common knowledge but I was supposedly an interior design student (either in UP or UST) in college, but my parents advised me to pursue another career as interior design was not that in demand in the country, at least at that time. And it made sense to me, so I pursued another course instead.
Then, fast forward to 2015, the Philippine real estate industry boomed. Now, there are A LOT of clients for interior design (READ: condominium unit owners). With the proliferation of condominium developments in the country, I think it's safe to say that had I pursued Interior Design, I probably have a lot of clients by now. So yeah, go figure my frustration.
