My child wants to be an artist, now what?

Parents schedule a meeting, enter my room, sit down and say :

My child wants to major in art, they want to work in a creative field and while I want to support them, I’m worried that they aren’t going to be able to get a job, or they aren’t going to be able to make money.

Over the years, working in a creative field has gotten a bad reputation, and for some reason, we’ve been led to believe that going into a creative field is a sure fire way to live with your parents for the rest of you life. But that isn’t true.

Recently I spoke with Sandra, who took her love for painting and turned into a viable career path. Listen to the interview below and download the PDF.
