When I was started college, I knew I wanted to do something creative, but I had never heard of a vast number of the creative career opportunities that existed (not to mention those that didn’t exist yet). Creativity comes in a number of forms—you don’t have to have the word “creative” in your title to be in a creative career. It’s all about coming up with new ideas to solve problems.
I’ve had a lot of requests over time to create a list of the top creative careers, which is difficult to do since it’s so hard to define what roles fit into this category. Instead, this is a collection of the interviews I’ve done over time with a wide range of creative professionals. I’m planning to grow this list as I interview new people, but here’s a start.
- Graphic Designer
- Marketing
- Digital Marketing
- Fashion Entrepreneur
- Public Relations Specialist (View interviews 1, 2, 3 and 4)

I think I’m about to explore digital marketing. I’ve tried it before and it’s quite alright, though still not that “creative” in my opinion. The web copywriter job I’ve also tried, and my writing creativity has upped a couple of levels since then.

I think that you should have Forensic science listed because it is interesting and also creative.

I could see myself going into almost any of those job categories after graduation or maybe before If I can find the work.
