What is family and consumer sciences?

Question

My mother is in education, and she told me it just like home economics. I was wondering if any of you could give me a more specific answer please!

Answer 1

It's what they used to call homemaking, then home economics.  They changed the name to make it more modern and gender neutral I guess, but the basic components are the same--it involves food nutrition & cooking, fashion design & sewing, home decorating, parenting, etc.

You can't really do much with that degree except teach home ec, be in child care, or be a housewife, unless you luck into a job as a home economist.  I suppose you could run a restaurant or a retail fashion store, but you would probably want hospitality or marketing for that.

Answer 2

its like sewing and cooking!!
