Happy weekend, please your advice is needed. For a person that have 12 to 18 months to learn, which do you suggest. Fashion design or phone repairer combined with sales of accessories. Please state your reasons. Thank you

Fashion Design - and not cut and sew.
I mean better senator wears, Vintage T-shirts and suits then later add shoemaking to it - palms and sandals.

If you're a very social person, customers no go hard you to find. You won't even need to have a store - you can do it anywhere - you just have to be friendly and talk to your network to help you spread the word.

Phone repairs and sales of accessories is still good i guess, but that accessories part I don't think will have very high margins.

Plus, are you a technical person - cos phone repairs na bolts and nuts.

Thank you bros, i really appreciate your advice. Adding shoemaking is a brilliant idea, but will there be enough time to do both. One also have to learn that, that can be outsourced.

There will be time later, definitely. But first master the main skill. And yes, outsourcing is also great. You can get someone who does it or you purchase amd then sell.

All the best

If the priority is faster cash flow and practical income within 12–18 months, phone repair combined with accessory sales may provide quicker returns.
If the priority is creativity, brand building, and long-term expansion potential, fashion design could be more rewarding — especially for someone passionate about style and trends.
Ultimately, passion + market demand + location advantage should guide the decision.
