K is a teacher but would much rather be working in fashion. As a matter of fact she has her degree in fashion and textile merchandising. She has been teaching high school for several years but now wants to follow what she feels is her true calling. One problem is that she doesn't know how to break into this new field. Another problem is that she lives far from New York, one of the world's fashion meccas. She's willing to relocate. Here's my reply to her. If you have any additional advice for K please comment below.

"Have you tried contacting the career office of the school from which you got your degree? They should be able to give you advice about getting a job in fashion. Perhaps they can set you up with a fellow alumnus who works in the field. He or she may have some good tips for you. You may also want to look into doing an internship, which could be a good way for a career changer to get experience."
