Dystopia

In all honesty, I have recently been contemplating why I even chose to study interior design.  I'm continuing to take design classes in hopes that I will soon be inspired and become somewhat passionate about my current major.  I feel as if I should have gone straight to school at the University of South Florida for architecture.  I feel as if I'm wasting my time and money here at the Art Institute of Tampa and that I will not be able to find a financially stable job after I graduate.  I have been trying to figure out what truly inspires me, interior design has turned out to not be my calling. I don't mean to offend anyone associated with interior design, but I'm sort of finding that it isn't all it's talked up to be.  I'm confused as to where the line between interior design, interior architecture, architecture, and interior decorating has been drawn. It sounds like one big mess of a blur to me and hopefully that will soon be cleared up.  I'm on the fence as to whether or not this quarter will be my last.  However, I am thankful that I got the chance to take this course at this time in my academic career where I am questioning where I stand.  The topics discussed in class are starting to really help me see where my future is going.
