floral design/ers

i am 19 years old. when i graduated high school, i went straight to a four year college. i ended up needed to take a medical leave after being hospitalized, and at that time, i decided that traditional four year school wasnt for me. i got married, and pregnant two months after the wedding. since i left college, i have taken two professional photography courses to certify me as a professional photographer. i plan to go to culinary school for pastry arts after the baby is born and about a year old. now i am thinking about taking a distance learning course to be a floral designer. i loved planning my wedding, i adore doing creative things with flowers and arrangements for the holidays...i think i could really enjoy it. also, i think that all three things i have interest in (photography, pastry arts, and floral design) go well together...or at least they do in my mind. my question is this--do you think floral design is something i could have a good paying career in? anyone work in this field? any advice appreciated!

Re: floral design/ers

  • Are the two certifying courses the only photography classes you have taken?

    I don't know how beneficial a distance learning course in floral design would be.  I took a course at university, and it was always a short lecture followed by lab time to apply the concepts learned that day.  Many community colleges offer floral design courses...would that be an option?

    Before you put any more money into these three interests, I would pursue some work experience in them.  These are also interests of mine, so I understand why you are attracted to them.  However, I know that the careers associated are not as glamorous and fun as they seem to the hobbyist.
