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.

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.

Meh, no, I'd hate that. Too much supervision. :noway: I hope you can find a better place to work doing what you love!

Awww, that's a neat job, too. I couldn't do it in a classroom, but I could probably tutor one on one. Thinking about moving down to Argentina in a couple of years (that's Patagonia in my ticker image) and hoping I can pick up something like that to get started (or better yet, translating for tourists on backpacking and trail riding trips, now that I could do for a long time!).

I'm not fluent, though. My explanations in spanish might make any students I had study harder to learn english just so they won't have to put up with my atrocious grammar and accent!

Edit: I should say I could do the backpacking and trailriding one if my back lets me. I'm willing to try for a job like that in a beautiful place like that. Who knows, maybe after I lose the weight and get in really good shape, I'll be able to.
