Fashion Designer Store Owner……..
I like Keen’s answer and it dose sounds like a lot of fun.
If you can become the head Buyer for a certain department in a department store, you can easily pull in over $100k a year. For example, if you become head Womenswear Buyer for Macys or head Accessories Buyer for Saks or head Beauty Buyer for Nordstrom, your base salary will be at least $75-80k plus you get quarterly bonuses based on the performance of your department.
You don’t need to go to fashion school to become a buyer. Most people work their way up from the shop floor -starting in sales, then becoming a department manager, then moving into the buying office. Also most of the big department store chains have 2-3 year management training programs for college graduates – it really doesn’t matter what you studied.
