I'm currently claimed as an Interior Designer major..but I realize that my art and drawing skills aren't great XD. I suppose they're okaay but not great. But that can be improved with time an practice right? ;;

I like art...and i find it really interesting and nice..

But my boyfriend doesn't think i'm fit to be anything "designer" . . , =_=

i also have this other major in mind, which is pastry chef! I want to make cakes and learn how to bake deserts..maybe I can go on a cruise and work there as a pastry chef XD that sounds fun doesn't it?

of course all majors have the bad qualities..


I don't know which one do you guys think is better?

BTW, i'm currently at SFSU..but SJSU has a better program for designer/ art it offers a B.F.A. Degree..so If i do decide to take interior design, should i Transfer to SJSU?? O_O but SFSU has interior design program too but it offers a B.S. degree.....but i'm not sure if its as good as SJSU.

Pastry chefs require a good deal of design sense as well - take a visit to your local confectioner and you'll see a lot of fancy looking stuff.  It may taste good, but it also has to LOOK good.

Drawing skill will improve with practice, but interior design isn't only about drawing - you also have to work with lighting and furniture and color/pattern matching and stuff.  Or maybe you could try more of a feng shui angle to your interior design work 

Cruise ships may sound like fun when you are the one on vacation, but for the staff it isn't anywhere nearly as enjoyable.  Working in a kitchen all day long is not fun (try it some day, then try it for 5 days straight, 12 hours a day of cooking...).  Working in a galley which is likely to be narrower, hotter, and far more crowded is going to be even less fun.  Of course you would get to travel a lot and see lots of neat places, but the work side of it would be very hard work indeed.

But then when you get to the top of the cooking chain, executive chef on a 5 star venue, that's a very nice job to have!

I'd say stick with your interior design cuz youre like ok/great in art. Just practice more. interior designers seem very chill. lol. im guessing you dont know a lot about pasty chefs stuff compared to interior design. so you should stick to the major you're better at. since you have art/drawing as a talent, use it! I go to sjsu and my friends who go there says the art classes are pretty fun. so thats good if you do transfer. goodluck.

it doesn't hurt to double major! actually, it kind of does... but it might be worth it!

pastry chef. you''ll never have to go out again for dessert

Interior design! This is coming from someone who works as an architect intern for the summers! It's a lot of fun from what I've seen!

[ebolainmemphis]

... shouldn't you take some courses first in pastry cooking or something before deciding this?

[bonbons]

I'm an ID major, and while it's a hell of a lot of work, it's also really fun (for me at least)

if you like the courses you took for interior design then I suggest you stick with it.
but you never know, you might end up in somewhere completely different later on in life lol.
it's totally up to you, we can't tell you what to do in life

By reading your comments about being a pastry chef, I don't think you have a clue. If you want to bake cakes and decorate them all day, fine be a cake decorator, but a pastry chef?? It's more than that. You have to know how to do everything pastry related. You have to know how to work the dessert line in a restaurant, make wedding cakes, sugar work, chocolate sculptures, candies, EVERYTHING. & some of them are art related as well. In addition you have to work efficiently, quickly, cleanly & long hrs. Before even becoming a pastry chef you have to go to school, get hired to get experience & you will get put down & screamed at at some places. You will have to say goodbye to your holidays because you will never have them off. EVER. It's not easy becoming and being a pastry chef, but if that is what you want go for it.

Definitely agreed with JungxYumi. Being a pastry chef is not as easy as it seems and it's not just wanting to make pretty cakes. You really need a passion for it that goes beyond just thinking that it'd be a cute and cool job. To be honest, I think it'd be safer to stay with interior design because it doesn't seem like you've really done a lot of research on being a pastry chef? But, hey, after you realize what it takes to become one, and you're willing to put the effort and time in and have the drive for it, then definitely go for pastry chef (: Good luck.
