If you’re so creative, then why can’t you figure out an unconventional way to capitalize on it?
Sincerely,
A creative person trying to figure out an innovative way to pay bills
book that exposes what you thought of yourself and that its ok not to be like everyone else in your approach to life etc
a welcome for people who are not your traditional suit and tie persons
Despite the clunky title (which apparently works since the book is in its 7th printing!) Eicklberry has created a guide book that offers practical insight and direction to help you identify your areas of interest and then encouragement to pursue your targetted career. For instance, to help you identify careers that match your creative impulse, she directs you to a variety of career/interest tests that you can take online for free or through a career counselor for a fee. She then provides encouragement on how to turn your interests into either a career or an afterwork hobby that will provide an outlet for your creative drive. In all, a valuable book.
I took a different tack than most people who reviewed this book already; I reviewed the book for people with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, and dyslexia who are often creative and unconventional. This is what I wrote in my annotated bibliography of Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding a Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia;
This book tells how artists and creative people can find fulfilling employment. Both jobs that are intrinsically creative and jobs that can support an art career are covered. The author has intuitively written a book that is extremely helpful to many of us with ADD and LD. As a matter of fact, in many of her anecdotes describing herself, she sounds like someone with ADD and LD. She proposes many exercises which can help you find a great job and career. She ends with a list of jobs that work for creative people.
Dr. Eikleberry’s easy-to-read book helped me find a second career. The Career Guide of Creative and Unconventional People is chocked full of stories, pertinent information, and encouragement. Even if you’ve never thought of yourself as creative and unconventional, read Dr. Carol Eikleberry’s book, you might be surprised.
