Career Path plus

Earlier on I blogged about my 5 year plan. However after reading an article on styling, and going back home to work over the easter(i'm waitress) it made me think that I would still like to persue a music video styling career. However, I realised that I a. am quite a people person, therefore I like working with other people, and helping other people, making them happy. b. i love styling and fashion, and c. i love shopping and helping my friends put outfits together. With my friends often asking me to help them choose an outfit and accessories for a night out. 
Therefore, being a personal shopper/ in store stylists seems like the ideal job for me.
I think I would be well suited to this as apart from the above factors, I always when asked for opinion on outfits etc, take into consideration the persons body shape, their own personal style and where they going to make sure the outfit is suitable. Plus, my friends know when they ask me that I would honestly tell them if they look good or not, if said garment makes them look pregnant or not. Obviously dealing with the public I would be more constructive in criticising them then my friends!! 

Shop work experience would help in this, so maybe something I should look for, however funnily enough waitressing gives you a lot of skills that could easily help with this career. Working under pressure (easter mondays are never preety where I work!), snobby or stressy customers ("waitresses are the scum of the earth" lady/ or the classic 5 other tables were here before me but no I need my food now, first!), and of course always smiling, being polite and getting the customer everything they desire!!
