    Thanks heaps for this! I had an article in mind a week or so ago which had something to do with this topic but the numbers I had were from memory and I couldn’t find any evidence. I scrapped the post because of this, I don’t feel a reader should be miss-informed by my guesstimated information. Very helpful, thank you.

    I am in an interior design class at my high school right now, and when I was asked about designers who are entreprenurs and how much they were paid, I could not respond. Is there a way to determine how much a design gets paid for each job or is it kinda of whatever they choose.
