THIS IS INFO I PICKED UP FROM STYLECAREER.COM TAKE A LOOK AS THEY EXPLAIN THE CAREER:As a senior fashion merchandiser or buyer, you'd enjoy the traveling and exclusive communications with top fashion designers, as well mingling with the world's most creative people. Because of the job, you will be directly ordering products from the world's most exclusive apparel manufacturers, including those in France, Italy and China.
You will be hopping from hotel to hotel and living in several different time zones at the same time. Your assistants will be busy carrying product samples for you as you breeze through the revolving doors of fashion houses in New York and Los Angeles.
At the company's headquarter, your employer is probably waiting for your calls anxiously.

What does it take to become a big in the fashion world? Is a 4yr college best a tech. school or a simple fashion school where you learn just that and that only. These are questions we all ask specially me being fashion is my major in IUP. Till this very day i wonder if i made the wrong descision in coming here and not moving to NY.
