Creativity is a playground. There are generally no rules and norms in the world of creativity. It comes in many forms and shapes, all starting with your imagination, and the ability to let go of restrictions. Your creative juices could flow in the form of writing, painting, designing, the performing arts, music and jobs that involve practical work. But don’t be fooled – even the most rational fields like science need creatives. And what would engineering be without people who can think outside the box?
If you are creative, your options are almost limitless – but you absolutely have to be passionate about whichever field you choose, or else your creativity will soar out the window.
