Career

Hi,
There are several options you can pursue parallel to your Bachelors degree in fashion design. I am listing them–
1. Communication skills
2. Foreign languages courses (like - French, Italian, German and Spanish).
3. Graphic designing or software
4. Styling course
5. Photography course
That is all up to you, what you are interested in. However, I would personally suggest you to not go for any other courses simultaneously, because fashion designing is very versatile course, and there are few short-term subjects in the fashion designing course itself, where you will learn about all of these software and styling kind of stuff. So, you better focus on one thing at a time. Fashion designing is not easy at all, take it seriously. You need to give time for it. I hope you understand that.

Most BFA fine art programs start with a foundation year where you learn art and design fundamentals before you have to declare a degree focus. There is also quite a bit of overlap in degree requirements that it is relatively easy to switch programs (core requirements for one will be elective requirements for another). A more important decision to make is whether you want to go to an art school or a university with an arts programme. The culture will be very different at each. A university will grant you more exposure to cross-disciplinary opportunities, traditional college experiences (sports, Greek life, and general education). Your state-school will likely be cheaper than an arts school and many universities boast strong art departments. However, at an art school (RISD, Cal Arts, Parsons), you will be surrounded by an intense, focused creative environment of like-minded individuals. Arts schools may also have better resources (studios, fabrication labs) and more support dedicated to career services. Ultimately, yes, you can make a career out of art and design, be it freelancing, working in an agency, or working in-house. The opportunities are vast and you'll discover more as you go through your undergraduate programme.

There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production which would eventually lead to direction. -You can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematographer or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D visualizations. -You may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters. You can get into production, whether live or animated. -You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ PC game. -You can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life. -You could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance. -You can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star. -You can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e. g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, VFX, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world and hence may earn in dollars, resulting in better rewards for designers. Some people are passionate about acting, they must understand that acting cannot provide jobs since this is an assignment based industry and one must fit the role. So it could be better to enter this industry after acquiring a technical skill. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
