Is it really worth pursuing a career in the Creative Industries in the Philippines?
Literally just the question above, especially as someone who only has a year left before entering college, i've been weighing my decisions for courses and career decisions lately. I want to pursue Arts, that's for sure. I initially planned for Architecture but now I'm thinking of entering a college that offers Creative Industries Management, I learned more about myself thanks to my grade 11 experiences and recently too that I prefer leadership roles and art directions too. I like bringing other peoples' and mine's ideas to life. I like managing and also am in love with organizing and managing. But of course then again, it's the Philippines, yes we're rich in arts but we're also definitely not rich when it comes to economics, especially since there's still that common idea of arts having nowhere to go and how its path leads to no money and stable living at all.
