Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I love fashion too, but I can't draw either!. I'm thinking of taking classes too learn how to draw, on the weekends!. You can do this and practice with clothes!.
I think you should follow your dream of having a fashion career!. It is a tough industry, but there is a lot of career choices inside this industry!.
I suggest you go to a good fashion institute that has an internship program!. Remember that with a fashion degree you can become anything from a fashion designer, fashion writer, you can open your own store or boutique and many other things!.
Don't study something else because what people say, because you'll end up working in a job you don't like and wondering if you could have made it into fashion!.
