Career Plans

The career I am interested in being in the fashion marketing. I would enjoy being a fashion designer than having a common job that is similar to everybody else. I am certainly sure that I would enjoy using my imagination to make clothing that stand out.

The reason I've thought about this career field is because I love imaging new designs and patterns for my clothes as a daily activity. It's a unique job that pays what you enjoy. Although I don't draw I like art using computer programs. I also like describing the texture, sense and visual look of it. I believe I have just as much skills to work in the fashion marketing and improve over time.


As a designer in general for any typical art. You have to maintain a quick inspirational and new look otherwise, you get eliminated. That means you will be 'outdated' because your not providing enough skills as a fashion designer or a designer for others.  I like trying new things than being average. It's because being average is ordinary.

• What are the special skills, talents, traits qualifications needed for the occupation you're interested in? That you must the deadline and they don't temporarily accept late work. Also how you need to have strong skills with computer.  You will need to always be productive by trying out new ideas. I think because I get along with people easily I won't have problems with getting clients to appreciate my work. 
• In what ways are you suited for this career? I get inspired really quickly and I am really independent so, I don't need help that much. I just solve my own problems. If you rely on others for help sometimes, it becomes a habit and that's very bad. The only time I really ask for assistance is when I tried everything and is really stuck. 
• Where could you gain experience NOW for this career? What steps (think creatively) could you take to gain experience - before you graduate? I can become a fashion designer assistant or become a intern temporarily. I will be trying to get a work permit. Also, get a local job that can help pay for college. If you don't get a job you don't have money to pay for college. Financial aid will assist me on the way but, I can't just rely on the government because there aren't any guarantees that they won't take it away.
• From your searching, the number of jobs available in California and what the Department of Labor & Statistics states about the "job outlook" for your career field - what did you discover? It's a very competitive job and that you will need to get a bachelor degree to gain more money. Also, your suppose to have high expectation on your work. Otherwise, you will slack and your work would show. It's a competition job so, you have to always be on your A game. Not many choose this path because it's very risky.
