Calling all CAD users! Interior designers, specifically! What was your “a-ha” moment with CAD? This program is my arch nemesis, and I’d love to hear when it clicked for you.

Miniature DIY house design kits Any reccs?

Dangerous neighborhoods. I actually live in a city that’s on the list of most dangerous cities in the country, every year. I hear gunshots in my area nightly. Not just one or 2 shots, but like 10 of them, back and forth. Ive had to drop to my floor because the gunfire has been so close. I’ve called the non emergency police line and reported it, but even the dispatcher didn’t seem to care. I’m so mad and scared, I’ve wanted to scream out into the night at these idiots to STFU but I just end up crying out of frustration instead. Anyone else deal with similar struggles? I can’t move house, we own it, and moving cities isn’t an option right now. I want to change my neighborhood if I can, not run from it.

Job Ideas? I am an interior design student, applying for entry level jobs. I need ideas on design-adjacent positions; like organizing, closet fabrication companies (think California Closets). I’ve applied to all jobs in this realm in my area for the time being (St. Louis),but no luck so far. I’ve been racking my brain and could use some help! Any ideas?
