What's the best job for someone like me?

Question

Hi, so I have a bit of any issue.... I've always seemed to have a knack for the entertainment industry, whether it's animation, video editing, game coding, story writing, you name it, I've likely done it or something like it. I'm just not too sure about what portion of the entertainment field I should go for. I'm pretty equal in terms of assets in each skill and I cant seem to decide what to do... Any advice?

Answer 1

So ask yourself this: If I could do one of these and not get paid for it and really enjoy it then it would be.........? Asking yourself this question can give you a clearer idea that you are willing to do. Doing something because you really enjoy it even if you never made a dime doesn't mean you are NOT going to make money at it. It simply means that you really enjoy it and you will probably gravitate towards it. For example you are very meticulous with detail and so you chose game coding but sitting hours in a cubicle doing it all day is not what you really love. Not a fit. So if you really love storytelling and you do it as a hobby because you love it and would do it if NO one paid you might be a better fit because the drive of loving it will keep your nose down until the money comes. I hope that helps.

Madison, having a talent for many elements of the entertainment industry may mean you're in a position to be an entrepreneur who develops clients looking for a range of services. This could include being a consultant for communications for companies interested in reaching new audiences. There are many people across many industries looking to develop material for websites, social media campaigns, and marketing campaigns, and they often need to hire production managers with a wide range of skills. As an entrepreneur who develops your own production company, you can highlight the range of services you can offer and market yourself to different clients. Large organizations may hire a position that includes several of the skills you highlight, so that's certainly an option as well. Look for positions in the communications sector of industries you think you'd be excited to support. You'd be telling their stories in compelling ways, but that can be rewarding as well.
