4. (Fashion Designer)

5. A fashion designer is a person who examines the trends of what people wear today and incorporate their own ideas into it. The designer could design a dress that some one might already have, but with a few tweaks and a variety of colors they could make it their own. Some fashion designers work on specific things like accessories such as sunglasses and shoes. Others make everything like women’s, men’s, children's clothes, shoes, and accessories.

6. Bachelor’s of fine arts and associate degree programs in fashion design are offered at many colleges, universities, and private art and design schools. Some fashion designers also combine a fashion design degree with a business, marketing, or fashion merchandising degree, especially those who want to run their own business or retail store. Basic coursework includes color, textiles, sewing and tailoring, pattern making, fashion history, computer- aided design (CAD), and design of different types of clothing such as menswear or footwear. Coursework in human anatomy, mathematics, and psychology also is useful.

7. Fashion designers' income varies widely according to experience and the nature of the job. Median annual earnings in 2004 were $55,840. Salaries for those just beginning their careers tend to be quite low. Self- employed fashion designers at the top of the profession earn far more than those in salaried positions; however, most self-employed designers earn less than the average salaried position pays. Fashion designers working for large companies usually receive health insurance, paid vacation, and other benefits, while self- employed designers must provide their own insurance and retirement plans.
