Creativity is crucial
Evidence in a poll published Thursday by The Harris Poll showed that more and more people are experiencing dissatisfaction at the end of their workday. Harris’s research indicated that the largest age group affected was those aged 18-34.
“The study found that 55% of the 2,112 respondents (among whom 1,120 are employed) would cut their traditional career for a self-employed role,” Will Fenstermaker said in “Creatives Are Unhappy With Their Jobs, But They’re Still Working” published by Mashable Inc.
Fear of the inability to pay one’s expenses keeps employees in their current positions for a mere paycheck.
“36% of employed respondents actually want to quit their current jobs because of uncreative roles,” Fenstermaker said.
Alan Hall, in his “I’m Outta Here!” article published by Forbes Magazine, evokes the importance of employer to employee awareness. The passion in the minds of the bodies behind the cubicles is failing to be recognized.
“I suggest you sit down with them and ask. Generally they will tell you ‘let me fail, try and learn, and let me grow and develop my skills’,” Hall said.
Student’s drive for a college degree decreases as the opportunities to exercise creativity decrease.
It was not long ago that a college degree guaranteed a corporate job, but with the current day economy, “almost half of graduates take non-graduate jobs,” David Ellis said in his “Degrees Do Not Guarantee Jobs, People Do” published by The Telegraph.
