Hi Graydon,
I completely understand, as I loved Art + Business Studies at school and moved into Advertising (for 10 years and then moved from Digital Advertising to Software, where I've been ever since).
If you are interested in are some career paths that align with your creative interests and skills, see below for some ideas:
* Graphic Designer: Use your creativity to visually communicate ideas through logos, websites, packaging, and more.
* User Experience (UX) Designer: Create user-friendly interfaces for websites, apps, and software.
* Content Creator: Write engaging articles, blog posts, social media content, or develop videos to inform and entertain audiences.
* Photographer: Capture stunning images that tell stories and evoke emotions.
* Videographer/Filmmaker: Produce captivating videos for various platforms and purposes.
* Animator: Bring characters and stories to life through animation techniques.
* Fine Artist: Express yourself through painting, sculpture, drawing, or other visual arts.
* Music Producer: Create and refine music, working with artists to bring their visions to life.
* Event Planner: Organize and execute memorable events, from weddings and conferences to festivals and concerts.
* Interior Designer: Create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces for homes, offices, or commercial spaces.
To further explore these options, consider researching career descriptions, educational requirements, and potential earning potential. You can also speak with career counselors, mentors, or professionals in these fields to gain insights and guidance.
Additional Considerations:
* Career as a Journey: Remember that your career is not a straight line but a journey with many twists and turns. Be open to new opportunities and willing to adapt as your interests and skills evolve.
* Changing Careers: It's perfectly normal to change careers throughout your life. Don't be afraid to explore new paths if you find that your current one isn't fulfilling you.
Remember that a career is a journey, not a destination. Be open to new experiences, learn from your mistakes, be kind to yourself, have a positive mindset and enjoy the ride!
