Description
The choice is all yours, whether it be as an actor, producer, director, writer, comedian, songwriter, filmmaker, screenwriter, model, musician, performer, cinematographer, editor, singer, or speaker, it's all about film and television, media and entertainment, publishing and distribution, media and tech, etc.

The media and entertainment industry attracts a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds. It’s a given that creative, innovative people are welcome, as are those with a knack for analyzing and prioritizing news, creating business plans, negotiating contracts, pitching and selling, marketing and promoting, or crunching numbers. The general job requirements include strong communication skills, the ability to work well independently and on a team, management skills, problem-solving abilities, and knowing how to prioritize work and meet deadlines. Depending on the type of job, the interviewer might want to see that the candidate has social skills, has some ideas for where to begin scouting for props, or can be useful and efficient when under pressure. A flexible attitude, self-confidence, solid knowledge of the company and its players, and a decent sense of humor can help. For many of the jobs, having a thick skin is also useful.

Most media and entertainment jobs require an undergraduate degree, and some require licensure and/or membership in a trade union. The most common bachelor’s degrees are in writing, editing, journalism, broadcast journalism, mass communications, radio and television arts, film, graphic design, fine art, photography, business, arts management, nonprofit management, and theater.
