Glad to hear it wasn't a bad experience for you. I live in the US which doesn't bother to enforce labor laws ECT. I only worked in an altelier and did the garment from start to finish. I actually loved it and it was in Seoul.
Hi Alex. Good for you! I put my PhD in education to work almost immediately so that I could get paid for my knowledge. 2 Paid Sick Days A YEAR??? No Way! You made the right decision! Follow your dreams.❤
Working in a sewing factory isn’t the place to be if you have a passion for sewing. In a factory you usually learn to do one function and do that all day. You might learn to do multiple functions if you were a floater or utility operator who went where you were needed if someone was out. I worked in the garment manufacturing for 13 years and believe me it is hard backbreaking work. Most of the women couldn’t sew a whole garment to save their lives. I was one of the few who worked there who actually knew how to construct a complete garment but I had been sewing for years before I went to work there.
Factory assembly experience is essential because most garments are assembled by humans using factory sewing machines. Knowing the actual experience of both is essential to designing garments that will be assembled in the industrial sector. Most designers don't run an atelier.
I think the fact that you work towards gaining skills is earning your way and not privilege. Maybe it will take someone with less money more time to gain skills, but everyone (except literal slaves) has an opportunity to make themselves better and work towards making a better life for themselves. You should give yourself more credit for the hard work you put in to make yourself better and move out of a job you didn't want forever. Even if you don't need money working towards goals is admirable.
You were correct that the experience in the garment factory is essential to a career in fashion.
Thanks for sharing. It was fun to vicariously live through you. 🥰
Thanks Bill. I'll have to find other fun things to share, haha. Might be difficult as my life is not that exciting these days.
You got a lot of experience in that sewing job and it will all help you as you move forward.

That does sound really fun! I think if I were to go back into sewing as a career, I'd want to work somewhere like that.
@@alexneuf7526 I wish that those were more common over here. Life would be so much nicer if sewing centers were modeled on the assembly line model.

I hadn't thought of it that way, thanks for this really encouraging comment.
