In addition to scoring high in the creativity category, I scored high in the human development and scientific categories. I scored high in human development because I have a willingness to help and teach people and I scored high in the scientific category because I analyze things and think independently.
One of the careers that was suggested for people who had strong scores in the creative category is fashion/clothing design. I looked more into this on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website and discovered new information about the job. In May 2006, there was an estimated 20,000 fashion designers in the United States and their average annual salary was $62,610. Starting salaries are fairly low until the fashion designer has been able to establish himself or herself in the industry. Growth of those working in the industry is said to be slower-than-average while the competitiveness will remain.
After learning some of the statistics about fashion designing, I am still interested in pursuing it at some point. However, I also came to the conclusion that I would like to try to incorporate my top three interests/skills (creativity, human development, and scientific) and become a fashion show and event planner.
