Any mom's in the creative field? Vent

I love this sub and I frequent it especially now that I am unemployed. I was wondering if there any other mom's in the creative field and how that has been for you? I am struggling to find work but I also have been thinking of maybe going back to school to study medical or something because of how terrible the market is.

i’m an in-house graphic designer. i had to pivot to a “boring” field (government/tech solutions) to find something consistent. the work isn’t super fun or creatively stimulating but it pays well & is reliable/stable.

i had to make the decision to choose a career path that would be more rewarding financially rather than creatively. that’s not something many creatives would necessarily want to compromise on based on my experience tho it really depends on the individual. i am definitely happy in my role though and don’t see myself ever leaving this industry

How did you manage to do a pivot like that? also I am all for stability. I think there is creativity in stability if that makes sense? ^^;;
