Getting a stable, secure job in the creative field is a real challenge. These are some of the creative careers which are comparatively stable and provide secure employment.
We all have heard people saying that creativity and money don't go hand in hand, but this is not true. Yes, it might be right that people who are in the creative field may expect to have some downtime but it doesn’t mean there is no light at the end. Every field has its own perks and cons, it is just that the creative fields need a bit more struggle. The creative field itself is vast and includes people from different backgrounds from performing arts to fine arts to literature to marketing to designing. The best part about creativity is that there is no set path and boundaries to it, it is not quantifiable and nor it is absolute in nature, that’s why it presents enormous opportunities and scope to the people. But similarly, the difficult thing about creativity is there is no security. It totally depends on the talent of that individual and his/her performance in that area. That’s why it becomes difficult for creative people to find a well-secured job in this field. Permanent jobs are hard to come by for professionals in performing arts like musicians and actors, but there are many more other creative jobs that provide security and are easily available and some of them are listed below:
