Hello, first I’d like to state you’re not going to find anyone west of the Mississippi more ambitious than me.
I’m leaving for the Navy for 5 years, I was fortunate enough to find the job that I dreamed about when enlisting which is Mass Communication Specialist, (MC), in this job, I will work on videography, photography, journalism, and graphic designs. I chose this job because I dreamed of working in the film industry one day. What I wanted to ask was, what am I going to do after the Navy? I wanted to go straight to film school, hopefully UCLA, because it’s one of the most prestigious colleges for film, and I don’t live too far from it so I don’t have to spend money from my BAH on housing when I’m using my GI bill. What are my steps? I know UCLA requires very smart students, and I had a very low GPA in high school, but does UCLA accept freshman in the film program? Or Juniors? And let’s say I miraculously get a B.A. in film from a nice school, would it be hard to find a job with a good degree with from a high end school, along with my military experience in film already? I’m not speaking about getting millions from making movies, but just even as a producer for a TV broadcast show. Thank you for your time.
If you spend the next five years planning for your college career it could be very worthwhile.
Your skills + who you know + who knows you + fabulous work reputation. Need it all.
