06.07.2023 Today’s Insights into Art-related Careers, from Ziprecruiter, Indeed et al
Dear Students,
Perhaps you are one of these ambitious international talents – the kind who refuse to study a traditional STEM subject – or even a business-related field like Marketing or HR – because you are simply passionate about art. (Much to some of your parents’ dismay!)
You may be one of those new grads who visit multiple museums on weekends and dream of nothing more than working in a creative environment for the rest of your life. Fortunately, candidates like you can make an effective case that there are potentially-lucrative careers within this space, as noted in the Ziprecruiter article that follows:

But, you may ask, “Can an art-oriented career be compatible with my need for a STEM major?” There’s good news on this front, too. By thinking creatively (no pun intended), there are in fact ways to combine the two, as exemplified here: https://careerswithstem.com.au/stem-art-careers-you-need-to-know-about/#gsc.tab=0.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, arts- and design-related careers are projected to add over 20,000 new jobs during the next decade (2023-2033). What’s more, BLS points out that, in total, “About 94,500 openings each year…are projected to come from growth and replacement needs.” Typically, for reference, such roles require only a Bachelor’s degree.
As an aspiring professional who is committed to art, why not meet with an academic advisor to discuss unusual art-related career options? Perhaps, by leveraging your initiative and communication skills, some of you will even seek out individuals on LinkedIn who’ve effectively transitioned from a more “technical” space into a career that incorporates their artistic appreciation. What about attending an art-related event to hear about – and meet – others who’ve forged their own path in this space? Our coaches can also brainstorm ways with you to nurture your creative, so-called “right-brain” preference, if necessary, even outside of your primary career path.
When our coaches do so with you, this reflects our company mission to “change people’s lives,” and to develop the “whole person,” creating and modeling a satisfying life of both professional and personal evolution, possibly even as you become a global leader in this arena. As an eager new grad, why not learn how a young professional like yourself can actually use your analytical and problem-solving skills on your own behalf?
