The Career Guide for Creative and Unconventional People

240 Pages / Soft cover / 6x9 Publication Date: 2/2007

What do you do with talent and passion in creative areas like art, music, or writing? Doubt that you can really earn a living using your creative skills? Heard comments like "Be sure to keep your day job" or "That's a hobby, not a career"? Or even Thomas Mann's "A healthy man never acts, paints, writes, or composes."

Don't believe the hype. Your dream job doesn't have to be just a dream. Recent clients of mine have become a professional clown, a dance instructor, a music theme artist, a hypnotherapist, a meditation room designer, a wicker importer, and an image consultant.

"When I told my father I was going to be an actor, he said, 'Fine, but study welding just in case.'" Robin Williams

In this book you'll find descriptions of more than 270 jobs, from crossword-puzzle maker to police sketch artist.

You don't have to stifle your creative dreams to pay the bills. For anyone who's ever been told, "But you have to be realistic," career counselor Carol Eikleberry is here to say, "Go for it." Now in its third edition, her inspiring guide provides real-life success stories and tools to help any artistic individual figure out how to hold on to being different and unconventional - while finding work they love.
