potential career.


i have a few prospective careers in mind. however, one of my major prospects is fashion forecasting. according to our book, a fashion forecasting service is a company that predicts consumers' future style preferences and trends in textiles and apparel. most of the time the predictions are based on research conducted by its staff and other associations.

as a forecaster you must be able to prodive your own knowledge of design and history with consumer business information. fashion forecasting services has been operating since 1991. they are the leading resource for international reports for color, trend and home furnishing.


the reason why this is one of my biggest prospectives because i have always like the fact of sitting in fashion shows or associated events just to watch what designers have put to their mind. i personally am a big magazine collector. i collect magazines just to look through them to find whats in style and whats the newest trends. i also like looking online at blogs and reading articles. i was always told to find a career that i could work w/o pay and since this is already something i do as a student then i think i will enjoy this career.


this career requires you to do alot with reporting, writing, and have public speaking skills and sales skills. if you acquire seven to ten years of experience you have a chance of making 100,000 to 200,000 working for a big retailer or clothing manufacturer. however, the average salary for a trend analyst is 60, 000. this career requires a degree in fashion. im pretty excited about this career regardless of the salary. fashionsnoops.com ; is where i attend to apply for a career at.
