.. & then u realized ... u r tied down to money problem. the starting average salaray a fashion designer made is $30,000. and living in california, 30,000 a year is not gonna get u anywhere. lets take it into calculation $30,000 - 6,000 (taxes) = $24,000 a year tat means... $2,000 / month cost of rent: $1,300 wats left: $700? is tat enough for food and all other bills??? if u see this? would tis stop u from achieving ur career dream? would u change ur mind and head to become a pharmacist instead? cuz pharmacist made almost $100,00 a year. after i saw the calculation, i almost change my mind instantly and tat just made me felt so down because i thought i knew where im heading to in life already my aunt said living in CA, you should look for a job tat makes more money, because she regretted following her dream, then end up having to stress about money everyday.
