Drought and shaky boat in creative field. Should I make a switch asap?

But the job market right now, even for entry level/fresh grads are expected a certain level of experience let alone someone who is heavily in creative field making a switch to somewhere with zero experience.

I have ever thought about internship since zero experience is not really an excuse having internship & upskill option nowadays. But I needed the FT salary to support my family & my life too. Any advice?

Same 😭 I’m trying to find entry level positions but most companies want 1+ year industry experience. And I’ve only done a short term internship

Thank you!! 🙏🏼 I’m trying not to lol.

I haven’t found any apprenticeships in the area I’m interested in. A few I’ve seen are internships for students
