Success in Traditional Career Paths vs Unpredictability in Creative Ventures

Starting a creative venture like writing, podcasting, or YouTube is challenging with low success rates compared to traditional corporate jobs where hard work typically leads to promotions and increased income over time. While in traditional careers there is a clear path to growth through promotions and job switches, creative ventures are unpredictable and may not yield financial success even after a decade. The creative journey requires immense dedication as there is no guarantee of financial growth, and success in such ventures largely depends on one's passion and commitment to the craft.
