Music
DJing, playing instruments, singing… The music industry is highly sought after. However, there are lots of other ways to get involved from being a sound technician through to teaching music to classes.
Hair and beauty
It may not immediately spring to mind but some of the top hair stylists and beauticians are actually incredibly creative, producing living works of art on happy clients (at least, that’s the hope!).
Fashion
Fashion certainly oozes glamour. Indeed, fashion designers have to be incredibly creative people but there’s a lot more to being involved in fashion than making clothes. Buying, merchandising, styling shop windows… The opportunities are endless.
Journalism/editorial/writing
Writing and editing magazines, websites, newspapers and books requires a huge amount of creativity and, although this is a competitive industry, there are lots of opportunities.
Another incredibly tough to break into industry with a huge number of careers to choose from. Runners, script writers, cameramen… It’s more than just actors and actresses learning their lines. Then there are the costume designers, casters, location scouts. It may not always pay well but there are lots of ways to make it into the industry.
Designing
You can’t get more creative than designer jobs and the choices are vast. Of course, there are the more glam design jobs in fashion and interiors but designers are also needed for anything from the creation of signs to architects designing houses.
Marketing, advertising and events
If you’re as good a networker as you are a creative thinker then careers in advertising, marketing, PR or even event planning could be right up your street…
