Your question for Wednesday 4th November!
Do you have a creative job? Or what would be your dream creative job?
I don't have a creative job (I'm a TV subtitler), unless you include being creative with the subtitles when I can't figure out what someone is saying! I would love to have any creative job where I was paid in stash, like a manufacturer DT. Or perhaps being paid to teach scrapbooking on cruises around the world!
I am trained as a Graphic Designer but not practicing. I am planning to train as a teacher which I suppose is a creative job in many ways, I volunteer in school and often find myself flexing creative muscles! I sometimes think though that I wouldn't want a job in Scrapbooking as I'd worry I'd stop enjoying it cos it was work, prefer just to keep it as a hobby that I love (wouldn't say no to the cruise thing though!!!)
Great questions Claire xx

I don't have a creative job but I should have! I did my degree in Business Studies even though the Careers Advice questionnaire that I completed when I was younger said that I should either be an interior, Graphic or Fashion Designer!!!
I think I'd quite like to have an Etsy shop selling various bits and pieces - would still be more of a hobby than a job though!
I studied art and design at Chelsea college of Art as I wanted to be an animator or illustrator, but had a disagreement with the tutor and decided it just wasnt "free" enough for me.
At the moment I am a stay at home mum so i get creative with my little monkeys. I would love to teach scrapbooking and card making (my neighbour drops really heavy hints!!) so maybe once the boy goes to nursery its something I could pursue.
