Conceiving careers involve the development of original works from scratch, usually limited only by the chosen medium or genre.

Typical job titles for people who choose conceiving career paths include:

• writer
• artist
• choreographer
• playwright
• composer
• photographer

Conceiving careers tend to be done by individuals working on their own.  Some conceiving careers also involve people who help bring the work of the original creator to the public.

Many different majors can lead to a conceiving career path, and some majors can provide more support than others, but college experience generally has no direct impact on successful conceiving careers, which often involve formal or informal apprenticeships.

People in conceiving careers need to be able to:

• create art, ideas, and solutions
• conceive a ‘finished product’ from a starting point
• visualize art, plans, or future possibilities
• accept criticism
