What Are the Differences Between These Majors?

You've mentioned five majors: styling, fashion design, costume design, marketing, merchandising. For styling, especially personal, you should check the state where you will work. Stylists in many states have pushed for licensing laws designed to discourage people. You should ask what courses are required and how many thousands of hours you have to spend working for a licensed stylist to get your own license. Fashion design means working for a fashion house designing clothes. For a school, look into the Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC. Costume design implies designing costumes for theater, opera, and ballet companies. Marketing and merchandising are whole different ends of the business. You would be selling clothes designed at a fashion house to stores. Or you would be working for stores to sell clothes to consumers. You would have to know something about fashion, but you would not be on the creative side. For schools, try business schools at large universities.

5. How should I get into fashion design when I can't...?

Sewing can be a natural skill or you can just learn it by yourself. I have a natural skill in sewing and design, even though I'm not so good with free-hand sketching. I started off sewing with a private teacher and it went on from there. I learned quickly and now I'm in college studying art and going on to fashion and design. I know you said you didn't want to, but it is good to look online for sewing type stuff. You want to test out different stitches and maybe look up novice patterns. Maybe just make a basic cushion first? You will need a sewing machine and yes, you can get cheap and good quality ones. Trust me, after your first project you will feel amazing that you completed it and made something yourself. And when you have the confidence you can go on to making garments and other types of stuff in textiles.
