But let us also consider that this is also one of that this has one of the most uncertain jobs the world. For example : An artist struggling to establish himself or a writer looking for a good publisher to make his work known to the public , or think of the architects and fashion designers building his reputation. Usually you don't find these challengers in the normal cubicle jobs , usually you begin at the lowest tier then follow the rules of promotion to climb the office hierarchy. But I think the rewards of succeeding in the creative class if far more rewarding. you see successful artists , writers, architects and singers being immortalized by their creations. And honestly you don't see the tv shows interviewing successful secretaries , clerks or other cubicle type jobs , Oh no no you see them talking with those belonging to the creative class ( actors , artists , writers , etc...)

I agree...being part of the creative class is enjoyable and challenging...I just wonder/wish we could open up the ideals of the creative class to everyone. Sitting in a cube from 9AM to 5PM being a drone can be very very difficult and draining. Hi Dino,

Hard because you constantly push yourself to use your skill and imagination every day so that you can create something that can be used for your livelihood , may it be a piece of artwork , a concept or a computer program. Unlike most traditional 9 to 5 work where you work in a cubicle where you have a set of patterns that you can follow with very little imagination required. But to the same time it is very enjoyable and fulfilling because more often than not these people belonging in the creative class in occupations that their passionate about ( artists , architects , writers etc...) so in other words they love what they do , this is a big deal because unlike the monotonous and hive like mentality of the normal workforce the world of the creative class is filled with challenges that can stimulate the mind and drive the imagination. -Dino Delellis <em>Dino De Lelelis's Recent post...null</em> Being a part of the creative class is both hard and very enjoyable.
