In fact, the arts are packed with jobs that people might not know about, and many don't require any specific artistic talent. Here are three jobs in the arts that don't necessarily require an artistic flair, including their requirements and median annual salaries according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Arts organizations raise money to put on various events like galas and festivals and to provide resources for artists, like spaces to work and perform in. There are arts organizations based all over the country, especially ones focused on local performance. "I'm an arts fundraiser."

In 2022, Maury McIntyre, president and CEO of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which puts on the Emmy Awards, was looking for a chief of staff. Initially, he thought someone who'd worked in a similar role before would be the right fit. Curry had been teaching choreography at private schools and though her background wasn't quite what McIntyre had been looking for, she had "the most kick-ass cover letter I've ever read." The Television Academy hired her soon thereafter and she's been working there ever since. Here's what convinced McIntyre to bring Curry in for an interview and his advice to other job seekers out there.

"One of them came in and she brought to the interview her [undergraduate] thesis that was a study of the Primetime Emmys' judging process and its faults," he told CNBC Make It at the Fast Company Innovation Festival. The second candidate was a bit less qualified for the role. "But we just absolutely loved her," he said. "And we came out of the interview and said, 'We cannot let her go.'" Though the company did not technically have another position open at the time, they ended up creating one specifically for her.
