Given your location, I would strongly consider a correspondence course. My firm offers courses to become Interior Design Stylists, Redesign Stylist, Staging Stylist. Redesign and Staging are incredible professions to hold, given the state of the economy. Simply stated, staging sells a home.
There is a demand for stagers like never before. I would start with the full interior design course,
then persue redesign or staging. It's good to get the fundamentals under your belt before channeling into a certain vein of the design industry.
Let me know how I can help you further.
