Be part of creative team can be fun, but the pay? It’s all over the place. Some months I’m scrambling to find work, and other times, I’m stuck doing unpaid or low-paying gigs just to keep the portfolio going. The inconsistent income is draining. People think it’s all artsy and glamorous, but it’s not easy when you’ve got bills to pay and you’re constantly hustling for the next project. Feels like a never-ending struggle.
