LIFE AFTER COLLEGE AS A CREATIVE

So… let’s fast forward to graduation. Many Columbia alums have achieved success in their fields through traditional routes, while others have translated the skills they learned at Columbia into fields that you wouldn’t necessarily expect. Some have gone into film and television, some are working in galleries and museums, while others have found a home in journalism or politics, and some have leveraged their skills for entrepreneurial endeavors. A Columbia education prepares you to own your life and chart your own success with the confidence that you have the skills to adapt to a changing world.

That’s where our Career Center comes in. Your career advisor is part of a community of advocates who support you in navigating your path from college to career. They sponsor job fairs and host events to help students find employment and learn how to market themselves independently. We encourage all Columbia students to connect with the Career Center as early as possible to start preparing for what comes next.
