Hi Amaya. You need to figure out what excites you, and think about why you love theater. Do you enjoy acting, directing, or storytelling? Or are you more interested in managing projects and leading teams? Understanding what motivates you in theater and business will help you focus on the right classes and experiences. You don't have to choose one over the other, you can blend both fields to your advantage. Many entrepreneurs come from creative backgrounds because creativity is great for solving problems and thinking outside the box.
Next, you should choose a major and take courses that support both interests. If theater is your main passion, majoring in it will help you develop your creative skills. At the same time, take business-related courses like marketing, economics, or management. This way, you'll learn how to think both creatively and practically. If your school offers a minor or certificate in business, it's a great way to balance both interests. This mix of creativity and business knowledge will help you in many career paths, including entrepreneurship.
Once you've chosen your major, the next step is to get real-world experience. Look for opportunities where you can use both your theater and business skills. You could manage events for theater productions, help with marketing shows, or get involved in student clubs or organizations. These activities teach you important skills like teamwork, budgeting, and managing projects. If you want to become an entrepreneur, you may join an entrepreneurship club or find internships with startups or small businesses. All the best to you.
