    I design clothing... no its not as exciting as you think.

    I think it's a neat job, though. I watched Project Runway for several seasons even though I can't even sew a button onto a shirt. I guess I just like the artistry of it.

    Ya, its basically nothing like that at all...lol. School was like that, in the industry they plop u infront of a computer and u get to "sketch" there. I like my job, I just don't love the industry anymore.

    :laugh:

    You know, I'd take that job over flipping burgers or working a cash register anyday, but I wonder how I'd answer if the subject of my career came up on a first date?

    Hm, trying to figure out if I'd enjoy sketching out designs all day, but I shouldn't bother, because I can't do that anymore than I can sew! So you sketch a new idea, and show it to someone, and they tell you whether they want something like that or not? Or do they tell you what they want, too?

    I am a professional classical and jazz musician. But my path here has been "interesting". Started out as a musician, got a PhD in Psych, became a Psychiatric Social Worker. Hated it. Went into I.T. Was an I.T. manager/director for almost 30 years. Got VERY tired of it. Retired from than and returned to music.

    My wife is an MFM (high risk OB). A good sonographer is worth their weight in gold!

So you sketch a new idea, and show it to someone, and they tell you whether they want something like that or not? Or do they tell you what they want, too?

    They say what they are looking for, I research it, sketch it by hand, gets approved by my boss, sketch on computer, approved again, put onto a layout, approved again, then I do a tech pack, make changes, etc etc.
    It's sportswear so it's not incredibly exciting, but its a good work environment, a great company and closer to home. I should stop being such a whiner. lol.
