Did you mean shouldn't? Because yes, that's rude, interior design is a proper job

Guessing it’s meant to say ‘shouldnt’?

If so, YANBU, it’s a valid job, but potentially a very difficult one to make good money from. Which may be his concern.

Interior design of brothels may be rude.
Perhaps just stick to flats?

I know we all make typos (and I can guarantee that this post will contain one!) but seriously, read your title before creating your thread!

If the question was is it unreasonable to say that interior design is not a proper job,
The, yes indeed it’s very unreasonable!
A close friend is very successful indeed in this field

It is though. A difficult one to get into I imagine but so are many careers. At 11 she's quite far away from having to make any career related decisions so I wouldn't see any need to slap down her ambitions just yet.

Ooooooooooooppppppppppppp?!??!
Where have you gone?
I’m thinking that this is a testament to the level of excitement in my life that I’m waiting for someone to come back and explain themselves further regarding interior design
I should be in a dodgy club

If you change the "should" in the title to "shouldn't", the thread makes more sense.

A) Quite rude that he won't tell her being an interior designer isn't a proper job?

B) Quite rude that he has told her this?

I'm going to assume B and if I'm correct, he's a joysucking twit. Of course it's a proper job! People spend more money than ever on their homes, it's big business. And it's not just homes, it's hotels, corporate spaces, exhibitions etc. etc.

Tbh even if an 11 year old declared that they wanted to become a yak herder you'd have to be a miserable Mr Gradgrind to tell them to snap out of it because that was an unrealistic dream.

Perfectly valid job and perfectly reasonable one to aspire to. Maybe slightly unusual for an 11-year-old to have picked it unless there's already one in the family, though.

Did you mean shouldn't tell your DD that, OP? And that his doing so was quite rude?
