Can I Multitask?
Most jobs require a good ability to multitask. None of these jobs requires it as much as Interior Design does. The reason for this is because Interior Designers are often doing more than one thing at a time.

This can cause a little bit of stress, but if you are good at multitasking, it is not so bad.
