For emerging professionals, today’s economic landscape feels at once ripe with opportunity and fraught with barriers to entry—so how do you make your mark? There may not be a guaranteed fast-track but if there were a blueprint for success, it would start with answering the question: “What do I love to do?”

Do What you Love and Don’t Look Back

Whether you want to be a movie director, fashion designer, graphic novelist or pastry artist, This Is Your Sign to say yes to creativity. The next step is finding great mentorship and industry connections to catapult you into the world you want to be a part of. These jobs have never been more in reach. With the exponential growth of the creative sector as the world’s hunger for both digital media and authentic human experiences grows, “creativity” has itself been repositioned from being a category of skill set to becoming a critical economic driver.

When asked to describe art in three words, LaSalle College Vancouver’s Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Jamie Kemp shared, “It’s core art and design is creative problem solving.”

Albert Einstein once noted, “Creativity is intelligence having fun,” a principle that continues to propel creatives into high-paying, rewarding careers. As the challenges companies seek to overcome continue to increase in complexity, creative professionals will become even more critical for the success of organizations that want to stand out.
