A career in the creative industries opens many doors in today’s society. The value of the creative industries to the UK is up from £94.8 billion in 2016 to £126 billion in 2022. This is nearly 6% of the whole UK economy and has grown at nearly twice the rate of the economy since 2010. The UK was the fifth largest exporter of creative services in 2020, after the United States, Ireland, Germany and China.
“The modern world doesn’t reward you for what you know, but  
for what you can do with what you know.”
 - Andreas Schleicher 
Recent research by Andreas Schleicher, who leads the Programme for International Student Assessment at the intergovernmental economic organisation OECD, told a House of Commons inquiry that he believed young people could benefit more from the skills gained through creativity than test-based learning. He stated that “in the fourth industrial revolution, arts may become more important than maths.” 
“We talk about ‘soft skills’ often as social and emotional skills, and hard skills as about science and maths, but it might be the opposite,” he said, suggesting that science and maths may become ‘softer’ in future when the need for them decreases due to technology, and the ‘hard skills’ will be “your curiosity, your leadership, your persistence and your resilience.”
