Where do we even begin? A quick Google search comes up with everything you don’t want to see… “state of the art offices”, “do you have the fine art of closing a deal” – hmm…. not quite what I was meaning. Thanks Google, you tried.

Completing any sort of creative degree can leave you in a tricky position when your work history doesn’t fall within the creative sector at all. There are many of us out there facing this troublesome predicament. You’ve built up your career to a reasonably high position, but its just not right. Its not what you wanted to do with your life. Hell… its not what you spent all those years (and money) studying.

So what now? How do we make that move?

We have a couple of options here people…

1. Start again… literally drop back down to an entry level position and (hopefully) try and build yourself up quickly to progress in the business (and help the $$ increase)
2. Start up your own business… now this does take capital and time. If you are lucky enough to have these two things then what are you waiting for?!
   STOP READING THIS AND GO AND DO IT!
3. Have a couple of Part time gigs… one job doing whatever it is that you have been doing that pays the $$ and one job that you are passionate about. Gain some experience doing what you love, so it can become your full time job and you can still pay your bills.

Now there are obviously more options, if you have any you think would top these three, let me know! Would love your thoughts. These are the options I have given myself, who knows what will come of my creative career from here… looks like you will have to keep reading to find out!

Its a strange and wonderful world out there people, finding your place can be an adventure in itself.

Enjoy!
