I too, am trying to get a job in the music entertainment/journalism career. I graduated college with a Print Journalism degree in May. I spend hours on the computer looking for jobs, I've e-mailed so many resumes, I forget what I've even applied for! I'm a pharmacy tech now and have been for about 10 years, and continue to do so until I find something in the business. I don't want to take a job just because it's journalism. Then again, i do not have the experience these companies want. I interned at the school paper & a radio station & spent 7 years in college for a Bachelor's degree. You would think that would be experience! I'm trying to be true to myself, job hunting is so irritating!
Good Luck to Everyone!

My first job out of college took me 4 months to find. It was not a great experience. The company closed its doors so I was out again looking for another one. My second job is even worse. I hate everything about it. I feel like I'm getting dumber going to work each day. I finally decided to go back to school full time and most likely move back in with my parents because I can't stand this any more. Good job for being true to yourself.

I can truly relate to your situation. Not only did I take a position in financial industry, I stayed with the company for 4 unfulfilling years. I finally got the courage to resign from the position and persue my goal of going to law school. I doubted my decision, yet know it is what's best for me. To all of you changing your careers, rememeber that there is no amount of money offered to deter you from your true passions and desires.

Hmm.I'm glad to hear your comment Alicia. The approach Im taking is to work somewhere I can make money while persuing my actual aspired career, teaching. Well see how things go.

On the bright side, every experience, even those we may not be so happy about at the time, helps to contribute to your knowledge and helps you to move forward.

Alicia, I totally understand what you are going through. I just recently quit my job to go back to school in the fall for journalism-ad/pr and a minor in graphic design. Strange enough that I want to do the same thing you want to do - promotions in the music industry. Keep it up! Things will happen soon sure enough.

I really want to work in the entertainment industry in promotions, specifically music. I'm also leaning towards non-profit work. Insurance was really not part of the game plan. But the game plan is definitely taking more time than I thought.
