When working as a fashion
designer you design clothes
and fashion lines.
An associate degree or a
bachelor’s degree in fashion
design is a requirement for
this career. Maybe a business
degree combined with one
of those two as well.
 Math, English, History, Art,
and Design are some good
subjects in school to help
you succeed in this career.

Fashion designers earned a

median annual salary of
$65,170 in 2016, according
to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics. On the low end,
fashion designers earned a
25th percentile salary of
$46,020, meaning 75 percent
earned more than this
amount. The 75th percentile

percent earn more.

The overall job outlook for

Fashion Designer careers has
been positive since 2004.

have increased by 24.46
percent nationwide in that
time, with an average growth
of 4.08 percent per year.
Demand for Fashion
Designers is expected to go
up, with an expected 7,840
new jobs filled by 2018.
Some related careers are

stylist, textile designer, and a
visual merchandiser.
What do you think about this
career I mean you get good
money for doing something
that would entertain you and
there is no one to tell you
what to design! That is why I
will work hard to become a
fashion designer.
