The blueprint for success used to be clear: study hard, graduate, and find a good job. Yet, for many today, that path leads to crushing debt and a feeling of being unprepared for the real world. We're seeing a generation of brilliant individuals who excel academically but grapple with profound emotional and social challenges. For creatives, this reality often hits hardest after years spent honing their skills, only to hear the familiar dismissal: 'You don't have enough experience.' It's a frustrating cycle that leaves many feeling defeated, wondering how to gain experience if no one will give them a chance.
