Full Careers
Have you ever taken a career assessment test?
I recently took a career assessment test at my college (I'm an alumni) to realign my interests and goals. When I took the test, I discovered that I was a more artistic or creative type of person. This does hold true because I like creative writing/journaling and I recently got interested in photography and graphic/web design. But on the flip side, I am also technical, like working with computers. I am still having a hard time choosing which career to go into.

- My brother in law is a lot like that, and he decided to get into computer game designing. They use art and graphic design for the look and feel, but there is also a lot of technical work to implement. Other fields that spring to mind like this would be architecture and engineering. If ultimately you can't find a job that blends both aspects (creativity and technical), try doing two things. For example, be a computer programmer by day (I often hear technologists at my company talking about "elegant coding" so you can be creative), and be a part time photographer at night (or teach a class, etc.). Go for your dreams. The worst that happens is you get into a decent job like most people, and work hard to retire early and follow your passions :) Good luck!
