Everything that can be personalized has a style. If style and personal expression excite you, here are some ways to turn that into a career:

Fashion: Design or curate clothing and accessories for stores
Accessories: Design or curate jewelry and accessories
Furniture: Design or curate furniture or home decor
Curator: Handpick items for people who trust your taste
Interior design: Advise on every stage of designing an indoor setting
Style writing: Report on the latest style trends and what’s coming up next

Because the style field is so broad, it’s hard to give a firm background for all of these. However, a bachelor’s degree in a related field will help you enter any of these areas, along with internships or part-time jobs.
