Consider...
The more you understand about your personal needs and goals the more fine tuned you’ll be when applying for and finding the work that's right for you. In a professional team setting work is a fluid dynamic and even the most solid constants can be get off course in some circumstances.
In the creative industries there is a level of sacrifice and compromise that school doesn't necessarily prepare you for. Focus on the average of what strengths you can bring to an employer vs. what makes you happy. Working in a commercial environment means you will be supporting the client vision, not trying to persuade them your vision is what's best for them. A smart freelancer may be able to choose clients that align with their own vision, but when you’re employed it’s not always possible.
Emotional intelligence and sensitivity in the creative industries is a very important trait. There are all levels of skill and ethic in the workplace. Understanding the nature of the workplace where you plan to apply, improves your chances of finding a good fit for both you and your employer. In the end, you must understand that the creative workplace is about gauging where your knowledge, skills, and abilities meets everyone else’s needs.
