While your mates are stuck in lecture halls learning about supply chains and quarterly reports, you could be in the studio creating the content they'll be consuming, the games they'll be playing, and the films they'll be watching. Build a creative career doing what you love at JMC Academy.
Let's address the elephant in the room. You might be feeling the pressure to study business or accounting because it's "safe". But here's what you don't know, Australia's creative industries are growing at a rate more than 50% higher than the rest of the workforce¹ and contribute over $112 billion to the economy annually.²
The rise of streaming platforms, social media, gaming, and digital content has created an insatiable demand for skilled creatives. Every business now needs video content, every app needs a fresh design, and more.
The question isn't whether you'll find work with a creative degree. It's whether you'll regret not chasing your passion.
Dive deeper into your degree and make your dream a reality. Our comprehensive course guides give you everything you need to make the leap from what if to what time.
