currently I am in second year of fashion design. I don't think I learnt more things in these years which can help me in my career. I am b.com graduate. I am confused what can I do now. drop my 3rd year or do something else in this field or other. suggest me some advice.

Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. If you're feeling uncertain about your fashion design studies and don't feel like you've gained enough knowledge or skills to pursue a career in the field, it's important to explore your options and make an informed decision about your future. Evaluate the skills and knowledge you've gained from your fashion design studies so far. Identify areas where you feel confident and areas where you may need further development. Explore different career paths within the fashion industry and related fields. Consider roles such as fashion merchandising, styling, marketing, retail management, textile design, or fashion journalism, which may offer opportunities to leverage your background in both fashion design and commerce. Look for internship opportunities in the fashion industry to gain hands-on experience and exposure to different aspects of the field. Internships can help you build valuable skills, expand your professional network, and clarify your career interests. Ultimately, make a decision that feels right for you based on your interests, goals, and circumstances. Whether you choose to continue with your fashion design studies, pursue a different path within the industry, or explore opportunities outside of fashion, trust yourself to make the best decision for your future.

Dear Mr R P YAdav I have finshed B ARCH with much interested in design and creative field. I realised the problem in 2nd yr itself but some how continued and finished the graduation. I took the admission in B ARCH are 12 commerce. During all the 5 years i felt like I should have done CA or MBA. Can you tell me what options I have now to change my filed to commerce/related areas
Ans: Dear Hitesh, I understand that you are not happy with your current course of career after completion of B Arch degree and want to pursue CA or MBA. In case you have been a B Com Graduate, it would have been easier for you to pursue MBA directly after the completion of your graduation as you have Commerce background in your 12th standard. In your current scenario as well, you can opt for pursuing MBA with a specialization of your choice since you have not mentioned which stream you want to get into. In case you want to pursue MBA with specialization in Marketing or Finance, you should opt for a full time course from a reputed and registered institution which will get you a good job opportunity in marketing or commercial fields post course completion. But in case you are planning to go for a desk job or accounts related positions, you should pursue CA from a distinguished college or university. You should keep it in mind that pursuing CA is a time-consuming process and it can take anything between 3-5 years minimum to complete a Chartered Accountant course but upon successful completion, you will have a bright career opportunity in the corporate world in finance, accounts, NBFCs and banks.

Hi, I'm a 21 year old BBA graduate. I am confused over what to do next. I want to get a job for financial independence but at the same time, I'm interested in fashion designing. Is it a good choice to change career paths now? Is yes how to be as competent as those graduating with their bachelors in fashion. Please advice.
Ans: It's great that you're thinking carefully about your next steps. Balancing financial independence with pursuing your passion is a common challenge. First, take some time to reflect on your interests and skills. First, take some time to reflect on your interests and skills. Ask yourself: What aspects of fashion design appeal to you the most? Do you have any experience or skills related to fashion design? How strong is your desire to pursue fashion as a career? You might consider starting a job related to your BBA degree while simultaneously pursuing fashion design on the side. This way, you can gain financial independence while slowly transitioning into the fashion industry. To be competitive in the fashion industry, you might need additional education and training. There are many diploma and certification courses in fashion design that you can take to build your skills. Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and Skillshare offer fashion design courses that can give you a solid foundation. Interning with a fashion house or designer can provide hands-on experience and industry insights. You can also attend fashion shows and industry events and join online communities related to fashion design. Networking can open doors to opportunities and mentorship. Ultimately, the decision should align with your long-term goals and passion. If fashion design is something you’re deeply passionate about, pursuing it can lead to a fulfilling career. However, it's important to be realistic about the challenges and prepare accordingly. Remember, it's perfectly okay to start in one field and transition to another. Many successful professionals have done it. Follow your passion, but plan carefully to ensure a smooth transition. Good luck!
