If you have an eye for style and a flair for design, you might want to consider turning your talent into a career, either full-time or part time. Some schools are devoted almost entirely to design, such as http://www.iadtnashville.com. Programs here are varied, including Interior Design, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Digital Photography, and more.
I have a friend who loves to decorate and is very talented at it. She received her training in interior design and went on to fulfill her dreams using her training. She bought an older home in a historical district of her town. After moving in, she started remodeling and restoring the home. She financed her work by doing freelance interior design work for acquaintances and soon word spread and she had plenty of work. She was able to stay at home with her children most of the time, since she could do a lot of the work in her studio. The bills were paid by her design work. At the same time, she was able to buy everything wholesale as she remodeled and redesigned her own home, and of course did all the work herself, saving professional costs as well. After about two years, she now has a lovely restored home, tastefully decorated, and worth MUCH more than she put into it (although she isn't interested in selling ... she just loves having such a lovely home even though she couldn't have afforded such a nice home outright).
Many of our readers are interested in photography. Digital photography is a growing industry, whether you are interested in doing portraits, product photography, design using photos, or any one of a wide variety of photo-related fields. Scrapbooking remains a hot craft field, and those who can teach techniques of digital photography and photo editing are in growing demand as well. Photo restoration is a related field that could easily be incorporated.
Our point is that, whatever you love to do, you may be able to turn your hobby into a career, either as a full-time occupation or a part-time extension of your hobby that lets you do what you love, meet people, have fun, and earn a little extra in the process.
