I'm not exactly unaware of the practical implications of this sort of thing, really--school time; age factors; limitations of my own vis-a-vis lack of drawing ability; a tiny, hyper-competitive field limited in geographical range (but somebody's coming up with all that mass-market, off-the-rack stuff, right?). Anyhow, with regard to that last point, I definitely am wary of leaping into yet another field where the major job opportunities are in about two cities.
And my thinking on this is so nebulous, anyway, that I wasn't necessarily thinking "design" per se, just something to do with clothing, preferably vintage, and maybe preserving or researching same. Mainly, I'm trying to figure out options that exist, and I think my vocabulary on this is limited.
I haven't even gotten to landscape architecture and design (although, again, I think legible renderings are a necessary function; although, true, the one thing I know how to draw is a tree). Aren't I good with the greenery? And wouldn't it be kind of cool to learn about all kinds of plants and what conditions they prefer?
Yes, I know, I should get a career counselor. But all the tests I've taken pretty much point to the same place. Did you know I'm well suited to be an editor or a writer?
I think the solution may be to just be an accountant and be done with this whole need to Learn, Be Expressive, and Make a Difference. Creativity can be left to one's own time and take a variety of forms, right? Bah.
