Is fashion school worth it?

There are already too many players in the fashion industry. Every brand tries to put out unique designs on their T-shirts, hoodies, etc. Will it make sense to start another such business? Maybe not from the perspective of building a big brand, but just making money. Watching shark tank has made me realise that if you spend significant amount on marketing, you can get sales.

It’s quite expensive to pursue one, but I’m worried not doing it will stagnate my career long term. Any views on whether I should apply (4yrs work experience currently, have worked in a boutique consulting firm previously). Any help will be sincerely appreciated!!

Hello viners, Wanted your opinion guys. Does it make sense to buy expensive clothes from the likes of Uniqlo, Zara, Marks and Spencer? Or it is just a marketing gimmick and one should infact buy online for reasonable (read cheaper) prices? Want to understand the reality here.

One of my team member said that he is paying ~2L per year as the fees for his child who's in 4th standard now, in Bengaluru. It's a CBSE school and is based out of Bengaluru. He pays additional for uniform, books, transport, etc. They also kind of want a well educated mom, but she shouldn't be working as there needs to be someone to take care of the children all the time. Although I studied in an private engineering college (but one of the best in the state), it costed only around ~2,50,000 for everything across 4 years (2021 grad) What the hell are they teaching over there? 💁🏻‍♂️ He also shared a few instances where parents are paying almost 6-10 lakhs for class 11 & 12 (coaching oriented). And then, of some who are paying ~25 Lakhs for B.Tech admission. I don't know where the world is going 🤯 I would like to understand the opinions of those who are reading this.

I have a business idea, similar to takeaway food cafe stuff, planning to start from my own town (Tier2). Have done enough market research in the last few months and am sure enough to generate 1-2lakhs in profit with one store(will expand more to different cities asap). But is it really worth it? I am a recent CSE graduate, and I fear that if I invest all my future time in this I might miss opportunities to start bigger scalable companies in the future as I would also miss the corporate ladder bus.

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games. It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

I don’t feel confident in terms of my skills as a product designer. I want to work on startups and I’ve seen folks from 10K joining companies like Cars24, Razorpay etc. I feel I need some guidance and mentorship with respect to how to think as a designer. Is the course worth it? If no, what’s the best alternative you’d recommend?

I'm considering going back to school in my 30s. Is it worth the time and money? Those who've done it, how did you balance work, life, and studies? Is it too risky to change careers in my mid-30s? The idea of being in my late 30s with student debt and a entry-level job in a new field is daunting.
