14 Things You'll Get If You Work In A Creative Field

Whether you were born with special talents that set you apart from your peers, or you’ve just got some elusive creative ‘keeda’ in you, chances are that after graduation you found yourself drawn to a job in a creative field. If you still marvel at your own life every day and love your job just as much as you get exasperated by it, you’ll find yourself nodding your head vigorously at the points up ahead.

1. You’ve met some really interesting people thanks to your profession.

There may be many words that can be used to describe your job, but the word ‘boring’ shall never be mentioned.

2. Just because work is fun doesn’t mean you don’t need a holiday!

If only people understood that fun work can get exhausting too!

3. Some of the charm of working in a creative field rubs off after a few months.

This is kind of accurate but you hate to admit it to anyone and that includes yourself.

4. You have secretly questioned why you chose this field ever so often

Especially when you look at that not-so-flattering bank account statement.

5. Yet you cannot imagine working in a field that doesn’t allow you to be creative

Typical 9-5? No thank you!

6. You run mostly on obscene amounts of caffeine and inappropriate thoughts

Oh f*ck, look! It’s Coffee O’ Clock.

7. You do get a lot of anxious thoughts regarding work

Will I ever be famous? Do I have any talent? Will I grow? Should I work independently?

8. You experience the highest highs and lowest lows

People who don’t work in a creative field themselves legit cannot relate to you.

9. You almost never stop working

Your mind is always on your latest project, and there’s no way to silence those thoughts!

10. You have come to realize over time that talent is not enough

You need discipline and hard work if you ever want to get anywhere in your field.

11. Your parents/elders are always a tad concerned when it comes to you.

But you’ve sort of given up trying to explain your somewhat unconventional career to people.

12. When you get excited about an idea, there’s no stopping you.

The sudden surge of motivation to see the idea to fruition is something you can’t possibly explain.

13. Your peers/colleagues are all very weird people and you are acutely aware of that.

But then you look at yourself and recognize that same weird trait so all’s well that ends well, really.

14. The peace you experience when you use your creative energy is so addictive…

And that’s really what it’s all about.
