FIDM, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, is a renowned institution in Los Angeles focusing on careers in fashion, design, and merchandising. The Design and Applied Arts program offers students a pathway into the industry, though it's important to note the high lifetime debt and a lengthy payoff period relative to the starting salary.
Warning: It's better to just get ANY job than to join this program!
This program has a negative lifetime value - that means that your salary won't go up enough to cover the costs + debt of going!
