Five year plan.
Upon graduating college, I want to go straight away to either NYC, LA, or Chicago, in no particular order depending on any potential job or networking leads.
I would prefer an entry level position as opposed to an externship or assistantship- though, if the right one came along, I would be hardpressed to give it up.
I would be interested in accepting positions in the following fields:
- Casting agencies
- Talent rep. agencies
- Talent managment firms
- Entertainment PR firms
- Special event planning
- Entertainment administration
I haven’t made a clear decision about graduate school, yet. I am convinced that it something that I will not only need, but want for myself. The best thing, I’m thinking, is to get a year or so, depending on my job, of field experience before beginning the graduate school application process. This theory may be flawed and is subject to change.
Also of concern is my personal life. In the non-existant utopia in my head, I can see myself living in a small apartment located in a downtown area with a dog. In reality, though, I am prepared to accept the inevitable possibility of a shoebox apartment on the outskirts of the world with a pet fern to keep me company.
Roommates would be lovely to cut down on living expenses, and also obviously for the company. I’m afraid that I can’t bring myself to move somewhere by myself; the last thing that I want to be is lonely.
As far as romance, I don’t want to make any predictions. I want to leave this area blank, because, well, I want to be surprised. I want it. Hell, I want it now. But mostly, I’d rather not have any preconceived notions- I just want things to happen when they’re ready.
In the next five years, I want to be rich, famous, and successful.
…or at least in a place where I pay off my student, put dinner on my table, and comfortably succumb to now-and-then retail therapy sessions.
