Hello. I am good at Arts and I also love science. What career do you think suits me?
I have completed my graduation in B.Sc Nonmedical in 2019. I am good at arts and my typing speed is good enough. I have more than 1-year of experience in Data entry but I did not satisfied. Now I am looking for a new skilled and professional carrier and I don't know which one should I choose?
Should I choose an MBA, MSc in Animation, BLIS (Library Science), Graphic Design as a carrier?
#career Help me :( and give me some advice

Hi Lokesh,
There are many fields that can combine art and science. For example: product design, architecture and materials science. There are college programs for product design or industrial engineering. Architecture is well known for its appeal to the arts but it is also heavily invested in building sciences (e.g., passive energy solutions, fire prevention and protection, water and air barriers, daylighting, etc.). Materials science and engineering combines the application of advanced material technologies with artistic solutions. I suggest that you take an introductory design course where you can gain exposure to the design process and to the various fields that apply the design process to the development of various products and designs. I imagine that will help you to feel a stronger affinity to a particular field of application.
I hope this helps.

Hello!
I can definitely relate to this question as well. I love being creative but also am scientific in nature. When I was in high school and even a little in college, I painted with acrylics. But I also loved the scientific side of problem solving which ultimately lead me down the path of being an engineer.
My discipline was systems engineering (also known as industrial and operations engineering). I loved systems engineering because it is not an exact science and thus still allows for my creative side to shine through and yet still be supported by science. The Healthcare industry has several opportunities for system engineering (i.e. looking at how to reduce the amount of time it takes to turn over an operating room and thus increasing the number of surgeries in a day and generate more revenue, improving processes to reduce the amount of time it takes a patient to see a Primary Care Physician).
Engineering and Healthcare is relatively new in their partnership. This allows for that creative freedom to come into play. As an engineer, I have helped hospitals implement value based care or value based purchasing for the first time. Each discipline, clinic, hospital, etc. is different and thus requires creativity when making the 'standard' work for them.
There are several disciplines that are not the 'standard' artistic disciplines. Think outside the box.
Hope this helps!

Hi Lokesh! Are you still interested in the science or the bio industry? My company (Catalent Pharma Solutions) offers a wide range of careers in marketing, administration, data entry, labelling, project management, etc. All of which require various backgrounds, degrees, skills BUT still come with the same passion for bio/science and aid in saving patient lives. Check out our careers page for your research - https://www.catalent.com/careers/.

Hi Lokesh!
This is a really great mix of interests and abilities. I can relate --I really love engineering and photography. There are many careers which suit the skill sets that arts and science bring, such as creativity, being methodical and analytical, etc.
For the ones you mentioned (e.g. Graphic Design), try reaching out to people in those professions and ask if they'd be open to doing a quick call or chatting over Zoom. If not, browse people on LinkedIn who are in those professions and see what their career paths looked like and whether that may be something that interests you.
Liking - and being good at - Arts and Science is fantastic. That will take you very far, and you can always change careers as you go. It's not a one-time decision! :) Say you pursue Graphic Design, you might decide later that you are interested in / skilled at data science and transition to that field.
What you learn along the way will always stay with you. Ask yourself WHY you want to pursue each career. What is it about that field that interests and excites you? Is it because it's fun? Challenging? You're really good at it? It makes an impact? Etc. Dig into the "why" and don't be afraid to try different opportunities.
Best of luck! :)
