I don't see how I could get a good job with what I'm doing.
I want to get into the fashion industry, or work for a fashion company managing their IT shit maybe.
Am I fucked? I don't want to die poor.
>>8469845
>Get a cool /fa/ job in your later years
How about he does what he wants and is good instead of pleasing this shitty online community.

>>8469845
>What is the actual name of it?
purchaser. get a business degree, then get a job in the purchasing department of a company and work your way up. it's /fa/ if you're like a purchaser for barneys or some little boutique, but not so much if it's for a place like tj maxx or walmart
>>8469854
>or work for a fashion company managing their IT shit maybe.
all that shit at little places gets contracted out.
>>8469860
If he actually enjoyed it/saw himself staying there why would he ask if he should switch jobs, hm?
I'm using /fa/ as a catch-all term for things people on here would find cool, meaning he would enjoy it as well and do it for himself, not too please a community.
>using queer as a derogatory on a fashion forum
Engineers
wine critic
>>8469882
He asked "Does that mean I have to change careers?" because he was challenging you to provide a reason why being "/fa/ is this all important thing to base your life around, if you do that you're pretty much a joke of a person. Queer.

being NEET and making money odd ways.
Criminal, drug dealers can be /fa/ as well as many other outlaws
Artist. Doesnt really matter what kind
all pretty /fa/ imo
>>8469895
Sadly true.
As an engineering student it's hard to find someone you can relate too who isn't a total shithead.
>>8469826
using context clues, you can assume that "effay" is a slang synonym for "fashionable."
>>8469960
Being NEET is never effay.
>>8469976
Chemical and Electrical are most /fa/
dentist
>>8469971
legit the only truly /fa/ people I know are neet. make money from music, tiny T-shirt business, quick entrepreneur ventures. I assume you can do these things and still be neet since you not in employment
>>8470004
self-employed
>>8469991
horseshit
aerospace
>>8469960
NEET is not /fa/, I am NEET, and I am not up to the unreasonably high standards /fa/ sets for one's lifestyle choices.
Anything illegal is /fa/ as fuck as long as it has to do with drugs or whatever but that is way too easy.
Artists are certainly /fa/, but that's more of a culture/hobby than an occupation.
>>8470004
If you're making money you are not NEET, end of story.
>>8469930
fuck
>>8470004
NEET means No Employment, Experience, or Training. It basically means you're disabled somehow, mentally or physically. Hence why NEETs often collect autism bucks. Being self-employed and being NEET are two different things entirely.
>>8470042
It's Not in Employment, Education or Training
>>8469854
H-help...
>>8469854
learn to make clothes
>>8470114

This. Try to be like Knoch.
>>8469887
we have a wine horticulture course at our uni. should i take it additionaly to horticulture?
>>8469919
Is this even a "real" job? Like, do you go to college and get a degree to be an art dealer?
>>8470152
There are lots of ways about it. You could study art history, you could study conservation, you could specialize in one style/artist/period, you might come from an academic background, a sales background.
Male prostitute.

>tfw both your parents are art history professors
i guess they are kinda effay
>>8469622
Did any of the big /fa/ designers (Rick, Yohji, etc.) go to college for fashion?
>>8470179
Rick went to Parson's for fine arts and dropped out and then went to technical school. Yohji went back to school later and attended Bunka.
Were there specific designers or brands you wanted to know about?
>>8470163
>study art history
Is it worth it?
>>8469921
kek
>>8469622
>2014
>not engineering major
good luck affording quality garments ya plebs
>>8470182
Really just wanted to know if it's worth it for someone to go to school for fashion if they want to make clothes for a living.
If you have any more info on other designers I'd be interested in hearing it.
>>8470183
Enh. It's a pretty narrow degree. As with most BA things like that, you can say on a résumé that you learned writing, critical thinking, etc. but if you plan to go into something involving fine arts, then it might be worth it.
Hahaha there are actually teenagers reading this thread basing their future careers around being fa
>>8470192
Hahaha there are actually people in this thread that don't understand what "/fa/ career" means.
It just means what are cool jobs that let you live a lifestyle that's /fa/. Have fun being a janitor or whatever dude.
>>8470188
Well, what, exactly, do you intend when you ask about going "to school for fashion". Do you want to learn tailoring, dressmaking, actual technical skills? Do you want to learn about merchandise planning, buying, inventory management? Do you want to learn about handling press, public relations, events? Just like there isn't just one job in the auto industry, the fashion industry encompasses designers, production managers, sales people, wholesalers, press agents, casting agents, show producers, textile manufacturers, and lots more.
>>8470197
>implying I'm a janitor or whatever
>>8470198
Uh, I hadn't though that far ahead.
I want to design clothes, and I actually think I am okay at it, but that is probably an extremely unreasonable dream job.
I litearlly know nothing about how college works since I wasn't planning on going until recently. You can like graduate while going for two different things, right?
I sort of liked the idea of being a procurement agent like the one anon was talking about earlier. Could I take classes for both design and sales or whatever?
trader
>>8470204
What are you, then? I'll take your opinion on what's happening in this thread way more seriously if you actually have a worthwhile job.
>>8470210
I teach mixed martial arts.
>>8470217
Alright to be fair that's pretty cool.
>>8470205
Look at the nearby fashion/art schools near you or where you can afford to live and call their offices to talk about degrees that might suit your skills/goals. Many schools also require extensive portfolios for degrees/courses in design, so that's also something to ask about.
>>8470183
Make sure you've already sucked all necessary dicks in academia and/or the gallery world and have a job lined up through other means, unless:
a) you also have a high school teaching qualification
b) you don't actually want a professional job and are just studying art history for your own personal interest (in which case you could just read books for free)
>>8470219
I know.
>>8470220
>Many schools also require extensive portfolios for degrees/courses in design
Well then I'm fucked lol. I'm talented but I am a drop out.
bootleg movie dealer
>go to college for an art related degree
>drop out and do the same on your own
nothing more /fa/ than this but its hard to pull off
I'm a cop in Germany, I think it's pretty effay and damn cool.
>>8470230
>tfw nobody buys bootleg movies anymore
the mid 2000's were crazy times
I'm going to school to be a luthier soon so that.
I.E. I'm going to build, modify, and repair guitars.

do you have a tribal tat?
>>8470314
Have tats but none of that nature.

>>8469826
Anon has a point: it's a total buzzword.
Sure, we say it means "fashionable" and we associate it with the word "good", "patrician", "cool", "siq", etc. but the word is tossed around so haphazardly in so many different threads about different things from drugs, to careers, to pets, etc. It's sometimes used to refer to heroin chic, coffee and cigarettes for breakfast but also to the finance broker lifestyle and anything you can name. Without a set definition, use of the "word" is entirely subjective and meaningless and ultimately, downright fucking retarded.
>>8470385
Everything is entirely subjective and meaningless once introduced to a large enough crowd, what's your point?
>>8470393
If that's true, then by the logic of our combined statements, anything introduced to a sufficiently large crowd is downright fucking retarded.
>>8470414
Good, you're catching on.
Is growing weed effay?
>>8469622
What about working in finance and (hopefully) ending up in NYC/Wallstreet? I'm in school for finance now.
>>8470434
Only if you exclusively wear shell suits and big chains
>>8470469
Shell suits?
Suits and chains would not do well when growing I'd think... When one is out in the sun, watering plants, building green houses, moving soil, transplanting, pulling tarps, mixing nutrients. You get dirty af, so maybe the process is not effay... But the money and status could be effay
>>8470480
Oh yeah, I was thinking dealer. Maybe you could try being farmer effay, that might look pretty cool. The money and status are definately effay tho.
>> 8469622

>Tfw farmer swag
>tfw Rick clothes are perfect for the weather, but not the work
I'd say being a supplier is sort of like being a bulk dealer.
Working in 90+ deg weather every day is def not effay tho tell ya chwat.
Well, I'm a university student and I sell pingas and cocaine on the side.
Before that I worked in a machine room in a factory.

I work as an operations manager at a Photobooth company, and a Photographer at our sister Wedding Photography company; Would you consider this job /fa/?
>>8470232
what im on the fence about doing rn
>>8470951
If you love what you do and it's both financially and emotionally fulfilling, then there's nothing more /fa/ for you.
>>8469805
What /fa/ job could i land with an English degree?
Looking into the Conde Nast grafuate prograe but other than that I dont know.
>>8470385
dude, no. as stated, effay means fashionable. is there one, single, clear-cut way to be fashionable? of course not. so, there's clearly going to be a multitude of contextually appropriate ways to use a word to define any and all of them.
How effay is finesse carpentry and woodworking?

is being a doctor effay?

This. The most /fa/ job ever.

Engineering? Seriously? That is the LEAST /fa/ job on the planet. Get the fuck out, you fucking autist. I have never met a SINGLE /fa/ engineer.
>>8470244
Do you have a straw fedora?
>>8470435
To your average person its pretty effay, but the job itself really isn't that effay, aside from some moments.
I'm working Private Equity so I know.
Are you at a top business school?
>>8470564
You're cool. What's pingas?
>>8469826
"is this /fa/??" is equivalent to " im insecure, tell me what to like"
being insecure is no /fa/
>>8471289
I feel like the idea of an engineer is very /fa/ but I've never met one that fits the bill.
>>8471289
Agree with engineers being un /fa/.
All the engineering students I know in college are loners, autists, greasy unwashed motherfuckers, or some other unpleasant type.
consignment store owner/manager in nyc
Is music supervisor and A&R for tv & film /fa/?
>>8469622
I agree with chef
>>8470182
Rick attended Otis College in LA for two years as a painting student
I'm going to say that being an academic is pretty /fa/.
>>8469622
Just about anything to do with the arts. Coffee shop owners are /fa/ as well.
Is working in the fashion world a pipe dream job, because it seems like it is.
I want to, so bad, and I am more than willing to dedicate the time, but is it worth it?

>>8471311

i do agree with you tho
some doctors
some engineers (especially chemical, had a chemical major tutor me and was effay as fuk)
interior designers (really most in the creative field)
chefs
photographers
some ppl in compsci are pretty effay
Physics professor. As long as you dont shoe yourself into the neckbeard stereotype you look /fa/ as fuck going to parties and telling people about your work
day trading, options, forex
stone mason, furniture
art collector, curator
neuroscience research
photography is pretty /fa/ from what ive seen
Being a diplomat must be really fucking /fa/
>>8470169
true
I'd say architecture is pretty fa, it's a creative, interesting field that pays well. People will want to talk about it more than if you were in finance or engineering.
i'm a property manager, is that /fa/ ?
>>8471289
People say that being an engineer will allow them to pay for expensive clothes but then what' the point if the only people who will see your fits are nerds.
>>8472553
that's not true you, or you must go to really lame parties

None, you are born a Tony Stark or not.

Genius you mean? Sure
But what degree to work on similar projects with comparable versatility (energy source, BCI, exoskeletons, the list goes on)
Being a citizen of Norway seems kind of /fa/.. They get paid loads by the state because they're filthy fucking rich. Sick-pay is 100% too, so you can just get a job and fake sickness/injury and spend all your money and time on clothes.
>>8469854
>18
>not doing a-levels or in uni

>2014
>Actually buying into the pleb education system brainwashing
Enjoy being poor.
>>8470393
if we follow that path of reasoning to its logical conclusion then everything is subjective, there is no objective truths.
so lets not go there
>>8471102
fucking do some research, there's actually a ton
Work you enjoy doing
>>8474074
that guy looks like hes goin nowhere tho
>tfw can't decide if I wanna do math or architecture
fuck it's so hard, I love buildings but I'm worthless at drawing, on the other hand solving math problems feel great and applied math gets me the dough, also I'll have career options in contrast to being an architect for 50 years.
>>8474086
Nrither of them are. It's unfortunate really but we need some goyim to buy into that nonsense so us 1%ers can continue to employ them to make us richer while paying them a flat rate with promises of promotion.
Yes, good goy, you do my paperwork, here's your pocket money that will just about keep you alive to continue working for me.
>>8474106
I was in a similar situation and I picked math. I'm starting my master's studies next autumn. Architecture is just too unreliable and I realised I lack the passion to become the best. Math is just easy, safe and useful. It's also super interesting at uni level.
>>8474106
I'm good enough at drawing, well, I have enough natural talent that getting really good wont be too hard.
I want to be an Architect, but I know nothing about how worthwhile a career it is to pursue.

Nah man just become a super cybercool hacker. Or go academia, then anything can be /fa/ in that respect.
>>8469991
Electrical is the most profitable, and perhaps the necessary, but not really the most /fa/ because of all the autistic fucks joining. Do it anyways.
Not sure about chemical, I know it's pretty profitable as well though.

Isn't it easier to be a hacker with EE?

>knowledge of signals, networks, telecommunications, perhaps even SCADA
>hardware knowledge
A CS guy will know OSes and how to do a Python fizzbuzz but wouldn't the EE be more qualified for serious cracking of complex infrastructures?
>>8474930
not him but no because getting physical access to a system is a lot harder than infiltrating it remotely with software exploits. i guess it really depends on your definition of 'hack' but this conversation is retarded anyways. you dont have to school to learn things. im sure theres cs majors that know more about EE than EE majors and vice versa. a diploma is just a piece of paper that lets everyone know you arent a complete fuckwit.
