College and Careers *absent makeup

In college I would like to major in creative writing, which has a somewhat limited field of job opportunities.
One possible career involving creative writing would be a travel writer, which is generally one who publishes travel guides and descriptive reviews of foreign locations. The average annual salary for a travel writer is around $40,000, but much of the work is freelance so it's difficult to speculate an average as everyone has different work. The salary is roughly the same in most geographic regions, and it generally requires a bachelor's degree in english, journalism, or creative writing. The average personality type of a travel writer would  be someone who not only enjoys traveling and discovering new things abroad, but also meticulously documenting such discoveries in their writing.

Another creative writing career is a screenwriter, which is one who writes scripts for independent/ large budget films. The average annual salary for a screenwriter is around $70,000, but much like travel writing, much of the work is freelance so salaries are often dictated by how much an individual writes per year (two scripts per year is a solid average for a successful screenwriter). The best place to make it as a screenwriter is Hollywood, which means that the west coast (or US in general) presents the highest geographical chance for success as a screenwriter. The average personality of a screenwriter would likely be extremely creative and diligent.

Similarly to screenwriters, novelists also earn an average salary of roughly $70,000 per year. Seeing as books can be published in hundreds of different languages, there is no one country with a geographical advantage for success when it comes to writing novels. The average personality of a novelist would be someone who does not mind spending large amounts of time in solitude, and also one who is equally as creative as they are driven to write.
