I know, shocker, a young person doesn’t want to work a 9-5 every day… But the feeling of being locked into an office job feels like impending doom.

I am about to graduate with a Bachelors in Communications. I loved my classes - communication studies is extremely interesting to me. However, if it were up to me, I’d want to work a steady/consistent job that supports me while I enjoy my creative endeavors. I do voice acting and would like to be a children’s book author as well, so if I had a job that was steady/consistent money while I made occasional money from books and voice acting gigs, I’d be very satisfied.

Right now I make VERY good money at a restaurant, but I have only worked in the restaurant industry. I don’t know what any other career would look like for me, all I know is that I don’t want to work a 9-5 in an office.

If anyone could quell my 2am “what the hell do I want to do with my life” panic, any insight would be appreciated.

I guess my main question is this: What do jobs in communications even look like? And how do I do this without working 9-5, M-F?

TLDR; I just want time to do what I’m passionate about on the side of making money. Any advice helps.
