So I've basically deduced 3 routes:
Entertainment industry assistant position - I'd be an assistant (which would suck), but to some awesome entertainment executive in the department I want, for like 2 years, learn from exposure to the department, get promoted to a job in the department, and then work hard to try and eventually climb the corporate ladder.
Entry level advertising agency or entertainment industry position - I'd get to actually do real work (although still entry level), but for almost no pay, and work hard to advance quickly and bide my time until an opening appears in the department I want to work in in a company I want to work for. Repeat.
Corporate marketing - I go corporate (ex. American Express) and be less passionate about my work (credit cards!) but much more comfortable (higher pay, benefits!). Climb the ladder and HOPE for a lateral move into the entertainment industry (which would only happen at the top top level) or I'll find out I'm too bored and want to go back into the entertainment industry and have to start from the bottom, which I could have done from the beginning.
WHAT A DILEMMA.
On a happier note, around this time next week I'll be off to China!
PS. Val and Francis - I'm going to a midnight screening of The Room tomorrow night for some drunk, screaming, spoon-flinging fun. DO YOU UNDERSTAND LYYYYYFFFFEEEEE? Which reminds me, check this out if you're brave.
