Passion Trumps Retirement in the Creative Industry

In creative industries like music or art, people do not typically retire voluntarily; instead, the industry tends to retire them first. Unlike in stable professions, those who pursue creativity as a career do so out of passion rather than stability, with the desire to be involved for as long as possible. This differs from athletes who have a defined retirement due to the public nature of their profession. Creators are likened to athletes, but with the added responsibility of not just performing but also running the 'team', signifying the evolution and complexity of roles within the creative industry.
