GROWING UP I KNEW I

WANTED TO DO THE

UNTHINKABLE

*Most people tell me that I am

majoring in completely two different

fields that do not go together!

*I say I am just thinking outside of

the box!

MY MAJOR CHOICES ARE

THE STEPPING BLOCK FOR

MY CAREER PLAN

Online Boutique owner

You have to know about

computers to run an online

boutique!

Need to be good at using

different computer languages

and programs

You need to be able to see a

style and know the difference

between a fad and a statement!

Also, know fashion trends

what is in and what is out!

REASONS WHY:

“These Majors Relate”

STARTING A BUSINESS

I will be getting a Business Degree. I have taken classes that

discuss about being in management and also, the buying part of the

business.

Since, I will be going to market and placing orders for particular

clothes the classes I have taken I will be able to use the same program

we used in making the 6-month buying plan!

What I learn will actually be something I use in my career.

CREATING WEBSITE

I will be using Wix.com to create my website for my company.

I have taken classes that show you how to actually create a website

from using code and it just appears.

With this computer background I can go either route: write the

code or just go online and make my website!

GETTING ADVICE

I talk with my professors in both the fashion department and

computer science department about connections and how to go about

doing specific things whenever it comes to me opening my online

boutique.

Having a background in both computer science and fashion

merchandising is going to be very helpful because they are both

changing constantly and evolving!

Entrepreneur

Making my own money

Setting the standards for

myself

Getting my name out there

Becoming a stylist

BEING MY OWN BOSS

Having my own website

Then having my own store

Doing fashion events

IF ALL ELSE FAILS

I can always get a job as being a

computer programmer! I know how

to read code, and write different

programs. I already have a degree in

Computer Science, so I can use that

as well. I might even do some side

work reprogramming computers.

SETTING GOALS

We talk about checklists in the

Fashion Department a lot.

Basically, explaining the steps that

need to be taken to accomplish a

certain goal before you can move on

to the next. I have learned about in

the Fashion Department that I was

unaware of before.

GETTING THE

BUSINESS GOING

FM 222 this class will be how I will

start the website and see how I want

it to run.

Retail Math will help because I

learned how to plan and actually buy

stuff.

Visual Basic taught me how to pick

and choose what I want to put on my

site.

TAKE A RISK

I hear all the time that the fashion industry is one wicked business

to get involved in. I love take a chance and making something happen!

I know my business HIIR will be successful because I am passionate

about what I want to do! I am taking the necessary steps that need to

be taken to make it a success! Now, if it does not be successful it will

be because of me not making it work!

Getting the education and the

information needed to come up

with a dream!

Taking the necessary steps

toward making this dream a

reality and making it bigger than

I had expected!
