you know what they say "age is just a number" you are only as old as you feel.


Best of Luck
Reply:26 isn't old, fact, you can change career now and its all fine. You are young and Independence is but a try away so don't worry yourself about your age.





As for work in fashion its possible but you are going to have to work really hard, sometimes the jobs that no-one else will do and often for very little pay. This is because these jobs are based on previous industry work (hence why you start low), your ability to work, time keeping, name dropping parties, functions, work ethic and being able to keep up with something that is forever changing.





It can be done but you have to ask yourself if you want to do the work, what area and how you will be able to do it.





You could try doing a fashion course or you could do a few weeks free work experience to get started or you could work in a 'trendy' clothes shop for designer clothes, keep note of trends and do free work at weekends and evenings. It's really not an easy industry to get into, same as writing, film, acting, painting and music but it is possible if you are realistic and don't expect results over night, it may take years...! But like I said, you are young enough to try so go for it.





Good luck, hope this helps.

When I was at college earlier this year studying fashion, there were a couple of women who were in their early 30s and had come back to start a career! You need to get back into education if you want a good job in the fashion industry. You'd be classed as a mature student (over 21) if you applied to university. Some courses will let you in based on your life experience, some wont. Go to your local college and ask for some advice, because if you dont do it now you will regret it in the future! Good luck.
Reply:I'm your age, and you are certainly not old. However you may want to shift your priorities. I love to meet people and go dancing as well, but I definitely put my job/financial situation first.





I would focus on getting a job, or getting into a school where you can study fashion if you're serious. Since you're 26 you can apply for financial aid as an independent so you won't need your parents' help. I would start saving money as well, for moving out costs and a rainy day fund.





Your life isn't over! It's just a new chapter beginning.
Reply:I had to laugh at the thought of someone thinking they were old at 26! You have years and years ahead of you!





Now, where do you want to be in those years? That's what you need to think about. First, imagine where you want to be 10 years from now. Then outline what you need to do to get there. Be realistic. Don't think "I must win the lottery." That's unlikely to happen. Instead think of concrete steps to get where you want to be. Something in fashion, eh? How about applying fo ra job even in retail fashion as a start. Or, is you are interested in design, look at schools that can help you get the skills you need. That's how you get where you want to be.





If you sit at home without a plan, in 10 years you are likely to still be sitting there at home with your parents. So.. get busy! It's all up to you!
Reply:The worst thing about coming home are the memories you bring with you and the wish that you could go back, whether that's after a holiday, or after a residential stay for any length of time.





Settle in again, and give yourself time to come back down to earth, then make some enquiries as to what it is you're looking for in regards to a career.





It may take a couple of years to actually train and acquire those qualifications, but don't loose that goal, 26 is no age at all to realise your dreams.





And whilst your achieving this, you can give yourself the time to make proper plans as to where you'd like to live, your financial requirements, what employment is available, and who you could contact to eventually get there.





Go for it !!! you've nothing to loose and everything to gain

Reply:NO HUN never to told the older the more u realize that you HAVE TO live the life you want you have to u owe it to you, and you take your experiences to the grave.
Reply:You are not old, but perhaps a little past the clubbing stage.


Fashion is a competitive business. Why not take up some other job whilst scouting around?


Try volunteering; you would make lots of new friends.
Reply:Perhaps too old to start modeling (they like them to start very young), but not too old to work as a fashion designer or with models. Go to school and take classes. You are never too old to learn.
Reply: YOU ARE STILL YOUNG CLUB AWAY ENJOY YOUR LIFE


AS FOR WORK YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO TRY SOMETHING NEW GOOD LUCK
Reply:In life nothing is too old if you want to change for the better.
