If you want a career that is about financial fulfillment, there are plenty higher on the list than the arts.
Anyone who aims to make a living in the creative sector is there first and foremost because of passion.
But that’s not always enough. Mouths to feed, bills to pay, lives to live can weigh heavy when making job decisions. And if it’s on your mind – then you’re not alone.
