Have a look at five jobs that you can suggest for your teen if they have a crafty nature so you can help them secure their future!
Fashion stylist
From celebrities on the red carpet to people having weddings, there will always be a need for fashion stylists.
If you notice that your teen is all about mixing and matching looks, accessories and trends, this may just be the right path for them. They could even spin it off to become fashion designer. Look into intern opportunities with local fashion houses, or even retail boutiques. After working under a qualified fashion designer or consultant as an intern or assistant, they can venture out by themselves.
Graphic Designer
For crafty teens who love their tablets and devices and are good at coming up with designs or amazing color combinations, graphic design is an area they should venture into.
While they will need to be good with the computer and programs that help graphic designers work more efficiently, this will be easy enough for them to do if they enjoy creating art. There are courses available that aim to help people interested in this career hone their skills. Most businesses need logos, illustrations, and more artwork, so this is a marketable future career.
And they could even use it to launch their own business selling stickers, shirts, etc.

Does your teen love to pull together different looks for your casa? Maybe they have a natural vibe for becoming an interior decorator. This isn’t only about creating a look. It also involves creating pieces to make a statement.

Clothing and jewelry design call for a keen eye and the ability to mix and match different colors and materials with an amazing outcome. If you’ve noticed your teen making jewelry with odd bits and pieces that they find, they may be sitting on an amazing future career. Help them move along in this direction and they may find themselves in a future career that they truly enjoy. They could launch their own brand or become part of a design team.
