Career Info that I have
discovered…
Consider:
❏ Upsides/downsides of job
❏ Job duties/ responsibilities
❏ Salary range
❏ Future outlook
❏ Lifestyle factors
❏ Advancement opportunities
For the work of fashion and design I discovered that there are many
options to work with and each of them are very different, some of
these would allow me to travel and others would not. This is a career
that is not only studied in three years, since you can take different
courses to progress and create a good curriculum, this is good since
I would like to continue studying after going to college. For this
career you must have a three- or two-year study base depending on
the university, and then you can continue to take different specific
courses to form as a professional. The salary of this race depends a
lot on which country is being exercised, in Europe there are more
opportunities therefore better wages, and generally at the beginning
of the race the salary can be low, but after having advanced and get
more tools, the salary can be very good. This career requires a lot of
responsibility, time and creativity, since each job is different and is a
new challenge, therefore, it may be that at first I do not have much
time for myself as I would have to work. Some of these are versatile
and will allow me to work wherever I am.

Education needed to pursue my To get into college, I must have the high school finished. There are
plan: several options of universities and colleges in Spain, some offer
careers of 2, 3 or 4 years depending on the number of courses they

❏ Courses/training/ certificates certain subjects, some of these courses require me to have the
needed university certificate and others not. My plan is to take courses that
❏ Post-secondary do not require college degree before and during college. For career
requirements training, you can start doing this while in college such as working in a
clothing store. Once the race is over, I can apply for work as a
fashion designer in clothing stores, image consultant, creating my
own company or working for other designers.

possibilities for this race are lower than the previous one, as it is
more difficult to get a good job paid for and requires more time. At
