Staying Sane: Continuing Education for the Creative New Yorker
A disproportionate number of people come to New York with big dreams: literary fame, rock stardom, TV success, magazine power… and very few make it. But not without trying: all of those fields having massive supporting industries ready to give out backbreaking jobs to aspirants. Some people settle in and make great lives for themselves working in a field they love — these are The Accidental Careerists. Others hang on doggedly to those initial dreams of artistic success, even as they toil in the trenches — these are The Unrepentant Dreamers. Whether you’re one or the other, or somewhere in between, we’ve put together some great continuing education courses to help you along with that career… or remind you of what you loved in the first place.
