How do I feel more secure in my choice of major?
I'm majoring in fashion, and I know I like it as a hobby, but how do I secure myself that I want it as my future?

Mark’s Answer
Two things come to mind:
1 - Take a job in the field, any job, even if it's just summer work or something part-time you do while going to school.
2 - Don't worry so much about the major. Take a job after school and be flexible. Focus on career training at work. They will provide tuition assistance for grad school or a certification.

1. I agree with Mark's answer related to taking on an intern position in fashion to see how that looks or feels to you.
2. If you are concerned about the career outlook in fashion as a major, you can always double major or minor in another field of interest that has more sustainable growth and opportunities like Healthcare, IT, Business/Marketing, etc.
3. I am unsure if you are going to a 4-yr college or not, but if you are, usually you have to take other non-core major related courses towards your major. Use that opportunity to explore other fields of study too. Maybe something will click and you will want to add that path for yourself.
