Im looking towards more of an independent, fun, enjoyable, flexible schedule and not be in a very saturated field. My mind is creative, and I always aim on doing hands on creativity and visuals, but I can't pinpoint what I would like to do as for a career. As I was going through my research, I found another job in the retail/ visual merchandiser position and caught my attention. I didn't know there were such things as a position in visual merchandising. Anyways I'm here to look for more in-depth experiences and knowledge to see if this is something I should put my time in researching and investment in a degree. Wish me luck!

Once I graduate to get an Associates Degree, I will take a break on school to stay focus on those three things for now. My major is Fashion Designer, I haven't focus on my business just yet since I am focus on school and other things as well, but maybe I wanted to do Fashion Merchandising, but I am passionate about Fashion Design.

Hi, Pauline! I say that because it is by far the most competitive career path within the industry. Many individuals want to become buyers, and oftentimes if the buyer is not meeting an organizations expectations, they will be let go. For many organizations the turnover is quite high, however, it really depends on the company/ buying department, etc. Don't let this discourage you, sending you all the good vibes, you've got this girl!
