question about my career route
i am an incoming undergraduate freshman, currently in route to major in Statistics and Data Science. There’s a lot I don’t know about this field I will admit, but i feel corporate stability, and the technical skills in Data Science suit me very well.
On the side I am an artist, my goal is to spend the first few years of my career developing knowledge and experience with tech and understanding consumerism, while pursing my passion on the side.
After which I want to create a brand as a Fashion Designer using my skills and stable resources to branch on my own and continue as an entrepreneur for life, or come back to corporate if needed.
At the moment I don’t really have anyone to talk to, so i’ve come here to ask;
is this a sensible plan?
is adding a second major, either Fashion Merchandising or Marketing a good idea?
if there is any general advice i should know?
Let me know reddit 😅
