THANK YOU!
Psssst... The secret to a happy career is to work with what you love. If a job just makes money and doesn't make you happy, you'll eventually hate it.
Since the entertainment industry is so huge, maybe you should spend the next couple of years taking advantage of programs in your high school and community that could introduce you to the many aspects of entertainment. For example, see what goes on in the background with the band or the drama club (if your school is lucky enough to still have arts programs). Check out your town's arts and entertainment section in the paper and see if there are any local productions you could work with. You can do anything from usher in a theater to helping with video recording.
What's hot now may not even exist by the time you graduate from college. So take this time to try different things out. When you're ready to choose a college and a major you'll have a better idea of what you want to do with your life.
The best job in the world is a job that you love, and a job that allows you to help others.
