Have you ever told someone you want to be a writer, actor, filmmaker, dancer or artist—and they gave you that look? Maybe they smiled politely and said, “That’s nice… but what’s your real job going to be?”
Here’s the truth: creative careers are real careers.
Every film, TV show, game, advert, book or piece of music was made by someone creative. Behind the scenes are writers, editors, designers, camera operators, sound engineers, stylists and more—doing real jobs, getting paid, and doing what they love.
Some people think you have to be famous to succeed in the arts. That’s not true. There are thousands of creative jobs out there. And creative industries are growing every year.
Can you earn money? Yes. Will it be easy? Not always. But that’s true of any career. Lots of creative people work on exciting projects, freelance, run their own businesses or build up their careers step by step.
At Give-Get-Go Education, we help you take your first steps. Whether you want to act, write, direct, edit or perform, our workshops and programmes give you the skills and confidence to get started. We work with real professionals who know the industry—and we believe creative young people deserve real support.
So next time someone says, “You want to be an artist?” just smile and say, “Yes. And I’m already on my way.”
