I bought this book not for me, but for my daughter who is considering getting into the creative field. Even though I’m in the field, I struggle to fully encourage this path due to uncertainties in the future. Your book gave me a different perspective. It’s helped me give more encouragement. I gave it to my daughter to help her see what opportunities are out there. I want to thank you for writing this. It does help anxious parents and students.
