Dan Radak, Negosentro | One of the major problems millennials face in the 21st-century workplace is the feeling that they are not making any difference. Sure, some of them have unrealistic expectations and want to start changing the world from day one but in most cases, if the workplace isn’t challenging enough, this will become a problem at one point. The best way to avoid this is to look for a career in which you’ll be able to express your creativity. That way, you will know that you are definitely making a difference. Here are four examples of such jobs.
-
Creative writing
The best thing about creative writing is the fact that this kind of career offers you a lot of different options. For instance, you can start out as a self-publishing author and try to sell short stories, novels and novellas on Amazon and similar platforms. By doing this, you will get to test your writing skills, as well as your photography and Photoshop skills (for book covers). If not, you can always use your prowess with words as a ghostwriter. This can be lucrative as well and it will allow you to focus on your writing exclusively.
-
Digital marketing
Another great idea for people who perform well under pressure and are creative is to try their luck in the world of digital marketing. Managing one’s content marketing, link building, email marketing and much more are just some of the tasks of a digital marketer. Therefore, you will not only get a chance to express your own creativity and outside-of-the-box thinking but also get to diversify your work schedule a bit. Apart from this, the competition in this field is tougher than ever, which will additionally give you a chance to show what you are made of.

Video production
Those interested in directing might want to try their luck in the industry of video production. The best thing about practicing and improving this skill is that it has a wide array of niches where it can be applied. For instance, those with a bit of free time on their hands might start their own YouTube channel or help someone else with theirs as a freelancer or a contributor.
Others might consider something a bit more traditional like event coverage and photo editing. According to experts specializing in event video production from Sydney, the end product can either be held on to for sentimental reasons or treasured for future use. Needless to say, this alone is more than enough to make this career option very popular.
-
Music producer
Finally, if you have an inclination towards acoustic artistry, the job of a music producer might be exactly what you’re looking for. The greatest downside to this idea is the fact that you will need to handle two important issues from the very start. First of all, you’ll need to choose your target market and second, you will have to find some initial capital, seeing as how equipment and digital tools for this line of work aren’t cheap. Nonetheless, for those with enough talent, perseverance and sense for business, this line of work can turn out to be quite profitable.
Conclusion
While each of the above-listed four items may seem quite dissimilar, there are some factors that these professions have in common. Apart from the opportunity to pursue your own passion, which is a reward on its own, to a person with enough will and talent, they create a lot of opportunity for advancement. Furthermore, they can be started off as a part-time job, which means that for the time being, you can still keep your day job. In other words, you’ll get a chance to pursue your passion without compromising your financial safety. It is, indeed, one of rare win-win situation that life has to offer.
