Subject: FROM CRAPPY JOB TO DREAM CAREER. WHERE TO START???
I am a 28 year old college graduate. I have a B.A. degree in History of all things. I am currently working a crappy job as a teachers aide at an elementary school that I absolutely hate.It is completely thankless and the aides at my school (degreed or not) are treated like complete idiots and underlings. My true calling is the fashion industry. I have been designing clothes since I was 8 years old. I know I should have maybe went to school for fashion merchandising,but my dream to become a high end buyer with my own line was always seen by my parents as just that.....a dream so to make them happy I stuck with the norm. As of now, I plan to start graduate school in the Spring for my M.B.A. to develop my business savvy. I read that this was a useful tool to have when one wants to become a buyer and own their own company. My talents as far as fashion trend forecasting, designing, and just complete style were God given. I am ready to live my dream. Does anyone have any advice on other things I should do to push forward to this career? Am I too old to start over?

No one is too old to start over, I'm sorry I don't actually have any strong advice to give as far as that field goes. But I'd say network, search online for other people who do what you want to do, ask them how they got started.
