So I’m a teenage entrepreneur from Australia. I’ve been in the startup/tech industry for a few years and I love it. My goal is to move to America and work in fashion - this is something I really want to do. My question is, do I stay in Australia and go to a regular university and major in Communications and then try to enter the extremely small fashion industry (I want to go into fashion PR) or try to get accepted into a school like FIT/Central Saint Martins where I specialise in Fashion Communications? The benefits of going to a fashion school in NYC/London would mean there are so many more opportunities and I will have a niche degree and be around like minded people. The negatives would be it would block a lot of other options for me - such as if I didn’t wanted to go back to startups.
If I stay in Australia, I won’t have the opportunity to enter the fashion industry, and I won’t be in America - which is where I want to be. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like a visceral feeling, I’m meant to be in America and I feel out of place here.
What should I do?
