Art school, it’s not just for waiters anymore. If you live in the Triangle, it might actually get you a job.

A new study released by the NC Departments of Cultural Resources and Commerce found that the arts, humanities and design fields employ just as many people here as banks do.  Here’s the math on NC’s creative economy:

Approximately 300,000 jobs
$10 billion in revenue
5 percent of the state’s total wages and benefits

To get a little slice of this pie, and a dollop of whipped cream, you’ll need a resume. You could go with a simple Word Doc and Times New Roman font or get a little "creative."
