<p>We all know how hard it is to break into the film/TV industry. It's not exactly a field that will have a job waiting for you as soon as you leave graduation. So realistically, what do you think you'll be doing for the first few years after graduation?</p>
<p>Haha making coffee

<p>I hope to get into scenery and set design for some time in/after college [:</p>
<p>I disagree about having a job waiting for you. If you choose your internships wisely, and make yourself known both for your good work and your excellent work ethic (meaning show up early, leave late, work hard, smile at everyone, get coffee, even if its not your job, etc…) there will be jobs for the choosing. Hard workers will get work. You just need to get “known” prior to graduating. While still in college, work for free to get known. Keep lists of everyone you meet, and KEEP IN TOUCH. If you can help someone else, do it. Be good at what you do-and be a nice person, and you WILL have a job.</p>
<p>^___ What she said!</p>
<p>Start your post-grad job planning the moment you arrive at film school as a freshman. The worst mistake you can make is to wait until you graduate and only then start thinking about how you’re going to go about getting a job.</p>
<p>So true! [:</p>
<p>“Be good at what you do-and be a nice person, and you WILL have a job.”</p>
<p>Not if there’s a recession!</p>
<p>One of the best sources in finding a job outside of school, is connecting with the people you already know. Check with your relatives, they may have connections with people they know, whether it’s through their work or church group, clubs, neighbors, friends, etc. Start looking for work while in school, such as summer jobs, part-time jobs, internships, or serve as a volunteer in your community to open your doors for window of opportunities. Don’t wait until after you’ve graduated. Most importantly, get a well-rounded education, because the more subject matters you know, the more employable you’ll be.</p>
