Pathways: creative & media Where might this lead?Creative and media work can be exciting and glamorous. But very few people end up in the high profile jobs. There are less well-known options. You could be a lighting technician, a display designer or go into related administrative work. Many jobs in this field require you to go on to higher education. Even then, you may be expected to start at the bottom in quite routine work. You need grit as well as talent to succeed in many types of creative work. What kind of person enjoys work in this sector?Creative and media workers need to be independent and self-reliant. Many people are freelance and have to manage periods without work. You should also be a good team player who finds it easy to join new projects with new people. Competition for jobs is often fierce, so you have to be determined to succeed and able to bounce back when things don’t go your way. Are there local opportunities?London is a world centre for arts and media and East London has a long history as a centre for new and groundbreaking developments. Shoreditch is currently home to many cutting edge creative and media businesses. |
