/fa/ - Fashion

I was thinking waiter

maestro/conductor

>>8119828

>>8119843

high end nightclub manager

hitman

heroin dealer

stunt driver

forester

etc.

>>8119851

>>8119849
Being a heroin dealer isn't that /fa/
Just very profitable, a lot of on the road food because restaurants take too long to cook for and listening to junkies talk about their lives/old dealing endeavours gets old, fast.

tfw engineer
i am surrounded by aspergers

>>8119849
none of those are at all /fa/
hitmen are generally dirty as fuck, high end nightclub managers are poorly dressed ethnics, stunt driver would be cool but again - un/fa/ and as someone working in forestry i can say that being a forester is completely un/fa/.

and to top it off
>thinking being a drug dealer is fashionable

>>8119960

you work in forestry? What's that like? I'm considering a career in forestry myself.

> pic related, some /fa/ thai hitmen

Fashion designer.

Try to top that. Protip: you can't

>>8119799
having no job

>>8120002

things that actually make money. how many designers actually make it big?

>>8120002
I'm studying for this, but let's be realistic, "fashion designers" are honestly a dime a dozen and most go under pretty quickly

>>8120008
Few. Most of those designer's stuff was actually conceived and made by someone else working for them; that same someone received some criticism and direction, but, in the end, made the design, not the Deisgner-chef him/herself

>>8120002
Some faggot designers are too gay,too soft, too arrogant or all of it at the same time. Hence, some model can top that off easily.

>>8120008
Don't think about the money.
The American way is to follow your dreams, regardless of how unrealistic it is, by going to art school to study something in an incredibly competitive industry, blissfully unaware of the increasingly low chances of landing a long term job while amassing thousands of dollars in student loans. You will self-righteously post about how you'll be able to overcome the odds (like nobody ever does) despite being surrounded by constant reminders of how hopeless it actually is. Then you work at KFC and live with your parents, as your debts are sent to collections. As you are washing dishes next to an illegal immigrant he asks you "are you planning on going to school, hermano?" you tell him all about your art degree.

>>8120014
It's not about how much money a certain job/career makes, it's about how /fa/ it is.

programming is /fa/ as fuck if you can really get into it.

the key is finding friends who are doing it too

>>8119980
Its alright, go for it if its what you want to fo

>>8120012
This happens in every industry where competitive spirit and ambition is a must (sports, music, fashion design, arts in general).

modelling

/thread

>>8119799
>2014
>not being a mercenary

>>8120091
you would think so but it isn't.

For a job to be /fa/ I assume it would have to require skill that was attained by through dedication and sacrafice of time. Modelling is something you do because you won the beauty lottery when you were born. Little to no true skill involved. and you can't tell me that something that is handed to you is as /fa/ as something you worked for.

No hard work and dedication is not really /fa. This is the route mostly for those who have no natural talents/perks. /fa is getting the money out of your personality. Modelling, club managing, music (if you made it), cinema, acting, painting etc. All of these require dedication too but on another level.

neither of those make them /fa/ careers

corporate lawyer

>>8120765
If the person working them was fah, then they could easily be.

That goes for pretty much anything besides being in the military. I can't see that being fah at all. Unless you're some mysterious guy working at another job a little later in life and the military somehow twisted you into coolness if you know what I mean.

>tfw going to study either architecture, urban planning or pure mathematics, depending on where I get accepted

>>8120786
p good

>>8120786
Damn man, you've posted that so much I already remembered you.
>having this wide a range of studies considering
Means you don't know what you want, that's bad.
>pure math
Only if you are keen on math and realy a ath type of person. Judging by /fa you are not. Career in finance is not exactly the most fun stuff, if you don't make it in academical.
>urban planning
Better.
>architecture
Same as painting or music, only if this is your calling and you get off by draing building drafts and getting ideas of what ou want to erect. I would go for architecturing, and that's from a finance major.

i´m studying management but ti think i will start studying industrial desing and probably get into fashion design or architecture

>i´m probably ending as some shitface tailor

>>8120806
>Means you don't know what you want, that's bad.
No it isn't. maybe if he doesn't know what he wants by the end of his degree then sure. but having wide interests and wide choices can end fine (it did for me)

>>8120091
kek, they wil suck your blood until the last drop

>>8120797
yes, but only the make money kind not the help the poor kind

>>8120813
You can end up fine but not really outstanding. Maybe bad was a strong word tho.

>>8120804
>being fah isn't in the outfits, it's in the lifestyle

>>8120817
o yeah i don't want to get stuck in the legal-aid trap

>>8120806
Yup, I've posted this here before. I'm actually quite good at math and physics, but architecture and planning just appeals to me more – he problem is that pretty much everything interests me. It all depends on the entrance exams now.

>>8120819
>not really outstanding
Well i got top marks for my final year subjects and now pursing honours under that field where I am looking pretty for a H1 grade.

degrees are a long time and give you time to grow and mature and work out who you are. you can always swap to other degrees as well if you find its not what you enjoy. dude obviously has wide interests and is switched on. I'm sure he will make his more than just fine.

All of these require an infinite more amount of work and practice than modelling. I don't see how listing these careers helps your argument.

You don't have to be math/comp sci major for risk analyst, it's more of a stat job with basic, basic modeling you learn in a core financial program class. Most risk management comes from market research and dun dun dun... intuition.

My aunt is a risk analyst for an investment firm and she bases most of her decisions off her initial research on companies. Specifically, her job is to find companies for health insurance corporations to invest their money in so they don't have to pay as much on their taxes.

>>8126244
Ok risk management, I'm making it broad because I still don't know which in particular includes a lot of undergrad mathematics.
I just like math and all the finance dudes say "stick with math and take some finance classes to get the terms right, but stick with math. I hate how everyone in my business classes are so naive they think they'll make it without huge connections or being math savvy".

My bad

>>8120048

As a programmer, I hate people like you. Program because it's a passion, not because it's /fa/ or makes money or because your friends are doing it

Nah, don't do that.

Go into landscape architecture is you want a bigger picture type design thing. Planning is hated by the entire design faculty at uni, especially when they think they have a mandate to design things, even though they're only trained in zoning, transport infrastructure, etc.

It sucks, because I was a gifted child, but a low attention span so drifted in and out of interests which made me mediocre at everything, when if I actually focused down on something I would have gone from mediocre to great. Most of my talent has gone away but the only thing that stuck was art.

The most /fa/ thing to do is to be born into a wealthy family and becoming educated at an elite university in whatever the hell you want to study without ever worrying about having to get a job.

Working for somebody else is never /fa/.

>>8133914
You did good. Really easy work if you don't mind playing the system and people

>>8133963
A lot of fashion is a result of glamorized poverty

The most /fa/ career that comes to mind is something in the performing arts and if you're really talented / well known.

For example a guy I was neck-to-neck with competing against in trumpet performance in high school went on to study music at a conservatory in the northern US. He now plays for a very, very famous metropolitan symphony. He's on his way to having a very /fa/ lifestyle.

On the other hand I dropped it all to study engineering. Since I've doomed myself to being un-/fa/ for the rest of my life I just wear flip flops and cargo shorts to school every day.
