What kind of jobs and opportunities can I find with a Creative Writing or Musical Theater major?
For starters, I'm going to be going into my freshman year at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey. This may change, but as of right now, I really want to be an author or playwright. I often find myself worrying about not being able to find good jobs in creative fields. If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it greatly!
Where can I find feedback on my poetry and other forms of creative writing?
I would like to get feedback on my writing in order to improve it. Especially for when I want submit pieces to literary magazines. I want to know if there are online communities I should join or websites I should look into. Ideally I would like to get feedback for free, but maybe could work out a small budget.
What career path should I choose ? It's getting really hard to even know what I want.
Hi, I'm someone that is currently 26 years old and in need of assistance about what type of career that i should pursue, I'm good with my adaptability (or you could say a quick learner) and somewhat interested in sci-fi movies (or technology), the thing is it's kind of hard for me to do something repetitively as it gets boring pretty fast, I do have a bachelor degree in electrical engineering but after seeing what my fellow graduate's job is now I lost my interest in the field, what should I do ? ps : I don't mind taking another degree
Is there a profession out there that's an equal balance between creative writing/publishing and biomedical science?
I am torn between majoring in English and Biomedical Science/Engineering. I love to write stories and strive to become an editor for a publishing company/fiction author or screenwriter, but I also love genetics and would love to be a genetic engineer and researcher (see the details from my previous question.) My parents don't want me to pursue an English degree because the profession "isn't that lucrative" and I'd spend a long time working my way to steady earnings, but they also want me to find a job doing what I love. They've suggested technical writing, but I fear that technical writing could also mean less creativity when writing instruction manuals or scientific journal articles. Any suggestions or advice from real-world experiences? #creative-writing #technical-writing #writing #news-writing #editor #writing-and-editing #fiction-writing #science-fiction #creative-non-fiction #fiction #copy-editing #publishing #genetics #biomedical-engineering #biomedical-science #career-path #screenwriting #author #creative-writing #double-major #dual-career #multiple-interests #english #communications #grant-writing #proposal-writing #career-path #career-choice #career-decisions
