Need Job Advice-Help

I am seriously thinking about leaving my secure (yet incredibly boring and un-fulfilling) job as a staff accountant. I am just not happy and need a change. I just got married and am only 25. I figured I am young enough to make a major change, right?

Anyways, I am interested in going into retail buying--starting out as an assistant buyer. Does anybody here know about this field? the pay? overall experience? work-life balance? any insight would be great...

additionally, most opportunities are in the city...and i live in port jeff...so the commute would be rough, but i am willing to do it if the job was satisfying enough...anybody hear have a major commute like that? again...any insight would be great!


TIA!

Just on the commute....I am not in that field, but I often leave my office at 8 or 9.....and I just have to get to the Upper East Side and sometimes THAT seems far. You would spend like 3-4 hours commuting daily....that can really wear you out

Re: Need Job Advice-Help

my best friend is assistant buyer, its one of those positions that you have to start at very low and work up. Its also a hard time economicl for the fashion world so it was hard finding a job. She went to school for marketing and textiles? i believe. So right now she works long hours working with the actuale buyers and doing their busy work, in hopes of one day landing a buyers position.
