Do you dread the sound of your alarm clock every morning, craving you to get out of bed to go to work? Well you shouldn’t have too. You should have a career you enjoy and like to do. As a freshman in highschool I already have two careers in mind. When I get to be older I still want to enjoy what I make money doing. I am interested in being a fashion designer or a police officer. Although both careers in fashion design and police require you to live in a big city, they differ in the personal qualities and level of education that they require. To make good money and to be able to support a family, it is best to live in a big city for both fashion design and to be a police work. Experts report that “Most fashion designers live in New York or California”. This is because they are very busy cities with more business and more people. ( Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Fashion Designs”). Likewise, police officers need to be around a lot of people in a busy city. In small towns like Hanover there aren’t many crimes and or problems.

also say that “To make more money you need to live in a big city or popular area as a state officer” ( Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Police and Detectives”).
Although both careers require you to live in a busy area, they differ significantly in the amount of education they require..
According to "Fashion Designers" “Most fashion designers have a bachelor's degree in design or fashion merchandising. In the college programs they learn about fabrics and computer-aided design technology. They are also able to work on designs that can be added to their portfolio.” In contrast, education requirements for a police officer vary from a high school diploma to a college, or higher, degree. Most police must graduate from their agency's training academy before they need to complete on the job training. To be able to qualify you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 21 years old, and meet physical requirements.("Police Patrol Officers") . They are very different, you could be a police officer without a college degree but fashion designers need at least a bachelors
degree.
The biggest difference between police officers and fashion designers is they get very different pay. The yearly average for fashion designers is about $62,860. Most designers make at least $30,000. If you have a lot of experience and work for a popular employer you can make up to almost $120,000 a year. Pay can range very widely. ("Fashion Designers") on the other hand Police and detectives make about $56,980 a year. ("Police Patrol Officers") Fashion Designers tend to make a higher pay but you also need a lot more education and college degrees to become a well payed fashion designer. You make not make quite as much being a police officer but most don’t even need to attend college.
I know I won’t dread waking up every morning if I am a fashion designer or police officer. Although both careers in fashion design and police require you to live in a big city, they differ in the personal qualities and level of education that they require. Therefore, I have decided I want to pursue a career in fashion design. To get me ready, I am going to take multiple art classes, sewing, and clothing and fabrication through high school. I used to be enrolled in an art class every Wednesday, that class helped me develop drawing and painting skills. I am also very into the newest fashions and what’s trending when it comes to clothing and shoes. All these art skills and knowledge in fashion will help me be successful in college and finding a high pay job to be able to support the family I want to have one day.
