Creative Job Questions & Answers

Im thinking of majoring in computer science and I just wanted to hear some examples of more creative jobs that computer science prepares you for beyond the realm of just programming or IT or something like that. Also, is computer science a versatile degree? Do employers from all industries look for people with computer science degrees?

I thought I truly wanted to do something in the Software development field (and its something id still love). However, I'm a very right-brain person (creative and not necessarily a logical thinker) but creative careers are notoriously underpaid, I know I can comfortably live on at least 60,000 a year, so what are some good, fun, and creative jobs I should aim for? also, what classes should i take as pre-requisite?

What kind of artistic, creative jobs are there for an artistically challenged person? Head and heart multi-talented, hands a disaster. I couyld not sketch a ball. I'm fantastic with colors, gramatically correct, yet I am not a writer nor do I have a desire to be an interior designer. I do not want to design web pages. Anything left...? I took the tests, no interesting suggestions, have any?

I need to relocate to vegas in about a 1 1/2 years so I have time. I would assume that there are all sorts of creative jobs out there, but I was wondering, from people who actually live out there and know what's around, what type of creative jobs they see other people doing in photography, video, creative arts, etc. so I can have an idea of where to look for what. I really appreciate any help, tips and/or advise anyone can give me. Thanks.

I am currently working as a retail sales advisor (part-time), but have a design degree and internship experience involving admin work. I haven't managed to find full time work since graduating. I feel I'm limited to applying for creative jobs (employers want experienced people) or Retail/sales jobs. Can anybody give me some serious suggestions/specific job roles that I could potentially be considered for? I can't wait to get my career going as I'm so frustrated at the moment.
