One of my best friends really wants to get into the fashion industry, any part of it. But to be honest, she doesn't really have a skill set to match that ambition. As a friend, it's so hard to watch her fail over and over when she tries to gain experience but just either doesn't have what it takes or doesn't have direction. What would be your advice for someone trying to get into a field they have little skills/relevant history for? She wants to work in costume design but doesn't have a ton of experience there, or avenues to gain that experience. Thanks!

I think that's exactly the problem- she's just kind of caught up in the idea of it without really having a direction. This is a good suggestion though, thanks! I'll see what she thinks of this kind of plan.
