Can't say enough about this book

Dr. Ormont explains how damaging the boring, underpaid "day job" can be for artists over the long run, and how IT IS POSSIBLE to find work that sustains financially and emotionally without draining creative energy. The book is motivational but also has practical information on resume-writing, personality tests, launching a career change, etc. Even if you aren't a "creative person," this book can truly help you to change your thoughts about making a living, and therefore, your life.
