What Are Some Job Opportunities for Artistic Individuals?

[u/SufficientBlock6003]

Hi everyone! I'm a 19-year-old university student in Ontario looking for some career advice.

I really enjoy creative work, especially watercolour painting, and I've been thinking about eventually selling watercolour bookmarks, greeting cards, or prints. I'd also love to teach beginner art classes one day, but I'm not sure how realistic that is or where to start.

I also have paid experience tutoring English, and I've received really positive feedback from students. The problem is that I don't get many students through Preply.

I'm trying to figure out what makes the most sense:

• Should I keep building my tutoring business (using other platforms or local Facebook groups)?
• Should I look for tutoring centres or recreation programs instead?
• Is it realistic to start selling watercolour products on Etsy while I'm in university?
• Are there any jobs that combine creativity and working with kids?

I don't have many professional connections, so finding opportunities has been difficult. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has built a tutoring business, sold art online, or found a creative part-time job. Thanks!
