A Basic Study on Creative Career Paths

Abstract

This study aims to explore those persons who have creative career paths that cross various barriers, such as existing career domains, educational backgrounds, gender, or physical handicap, and so on. The study consists of four main parts: First, we examined creatively built life-long careers that succeed despite some of the barriers mentioned. Second, we analyzed the environment, conditions, and concrete processes that tend to mold creative career paths. Third, we analyzed factors that facilitate persons in crossing existing career domains, educational backgrounds, gender, or physical handicaps, and so on. Fourth, we prepared back data of creative career paths to help inform others of their choices.
