Fun and Creative Career choices??


I'm deciding which career path to persue and what I want to major in for college. I've thought about some different opportunities but am not quite sure which best suits me, so I would like to know what other career's you know of that might be of interest. I'm open for anything!

I'm very social and outgoing, and with all my career path quiz answers they have all come up as 'creative'.
Such as photographer, fashion designer, fasion editor.. so on so forth.
I would like something that doesnt take 20 years to get a decent salary, and would not be something I dread waking up to every morning. Or that there is a once in a blue moon opportunity to get a job as.

The careers that have interested me are to do something with fashion, such as working at a magazine?
Or maybe even go into styling with make-up, hair and clothing?

I would just like some non biased oppinions on what the pro's and con's are of what I want to do or some other jobs that sounds like something i would enjoy.

Nothing wrong at all going the course that you look like you are going to choose. It seems you into fashion and the career path is always changing.

You could also go into sales with your outgoing personality. High end fashion sales.

Why not open your own makeup and stlying salon. I would pick this for you.

While this is not your career path, I have been going to same barber for 20 years due to the fact that he cuts my hair correctly, but most importantly he is funny as all get out.

I was thinking fashion photographer as I read your story. I'll start with the cons: You may find yourself working for someone, or a company you dislike. If you are working for a company you may not feel the freedom you would probably want. Photography is a hard industry to break into, especially in the fashion world.
Pros:
You could potentially start your own photography agency, a team up with fashion designers to promote their clothing. You could be your own boss, and wouldn't have to worry about breaking into the photography industry. You would probably make a substantial amount of money, and if you can make your name well known, you could hire on more photographers to work under you. Photography is generally a rewarding career, because you have an image, and you are able to obtain that into a physical manifestation. Plus you can express crazy ideas, and show your creativity. I think you would enjoy it! There are plenty of specialty schools just for photography also, and they're set up to get you out quickly and on with a career. Good luck with school and your future career!
