It's interesting that a goodly proportion of the responses above list creative jobs (apart from Kim ) but I'm guessing that those contributors are in professions with very little creativity.
Creative jobs require innate talent, rather than just hard work and/or luck, and people are wishing for the talent that goes with it rather than the job itself?

But if you've already spent over half your life in a profession why not choose something different? Choosing the same profession , would not be particularly creative me thinks.

People dream of being in creative jobs but could they have pursued that dream earlier in life with different guidance?

Were you steered in the wrong direction at school? Were creative jobs not portrayed as highly valued as those you ended up doing? I'd be interested to know the answers.
