Hello all, I need some advice I like Fashion, and I will like to pursue a career as a fashion designer in Fort Lauderdale, FL, since this is my living area, but my concerns is: I have to get a loan for the Bachelor degree in Fashion design in Fort Lauderdal. Will it be easy for me to obtain a job as a fashion designer in Fort Lauderdale?
You need to do some research yourself and see what sort of fashion industry, if any, is in Ft Lauderdale. See how many people are hiring fashion designers. It isn’t like being in accounting where every business needs one. And getting a position right off the bat as fashion designer isn’t very realistic.That’s like if you took an acting course and asked if you are going to be hired to star in a show upon graduation.
Do NOT take out loans to become a fashion designer. The fashion world is notoriously low paying.
You would not immediately get a job as a “fashion designer” out of college. That is a “work your way up” job…many try and never make it.
Many CC’s have a fashion major. Start there for a low cost.
How much were you thinking of borrowing? Were your parents going to cosign the loans???
No cosign on the loans just me alone, I am thinking of getting 81k for Art Institute if I am right. Any colleges you may know, and I am looking for a bachelor, since I think it will pay more and open a lot of jobs opportunity for me, thanks.
I feel like fashipn design is an area where on the job experience, as well as skills, counts for a lot.
Are you currently in High School?
No, I have college certificate. I am looking for my bachelor in fashion designer.
So have you looked at fashion jobs available? Anywhere?
Off the top of my head, one area I can think of not that far from you that might have opportunities would be costuming in Orlando (the shows, including those in Theme Parks).
No, I haven’t looking yet, my worry is the student loan in Fashion Design and I am in Florida
