Hi! I am a senior in high school and I am planning on becoming an event planner. I have been accepted into many programs for this career and waiting on my #1 choice. My #1 choice is a prestigious school with lots of internship connections and study abroad. I really like a few smaller private schools that I have toured but they do not have majors specific to my career path. I would have to do communications or general business. Should I go with specific and prestigious (if I get in) or is a general degree at a smaller school just as good?

I am a senior in high school and wanting to be an event planner. Cost wise the choices are similar, but the smaller private schools cost a bit more.

How did your communications degree help you build the professional network and brand presence needed to succeed in event planning, and what tools or platforms do you find most effective for reaching high-end clients?

I am a 12th grader from Cary NC. I plan to attend Elon University in the fall, majoring in communications. I am super excited and am in the process of exploring career paths I can persue with a communications degree.

Job possibilities ?

I am wanting to be an event planner but I know that that requires weekends and nights. I don’t mind that right now, but if I would like to have a family one day I would want a 9-5 job. What are some jobs that would be of similar interest that I could possibly get a degree in? I was thinking business management for event planning, but now I’m wondering if I should get a degree in something for a totally different job that I can work once I have a family. I’m trying to balance working in event planning but also getting a degree in something that will help but also provide me with a more stable job someday if that makes sense.

Should I take small engine repair?

My school has a semester elective called small engine repair. I learn to tune up and fix small engines like ATVs, motorcycles, lawn mowers, etc. Once the class is over, I would be able to fix small engines around my neighborhood, where I can get really good money. But then I will have to take a class in the summer to catch up on credits. Is it worth it? I do think it would be a fun and easy class. I can also take intro to automotive where I learn about engines in cars. What's my best choice? Will the class help me in college/career of mechanical/robotics/aerospace engineering? Thanks! #entrepreneur #healthcare #business #business-management #event-planning #small-business #cars #automotive #engine #international-business #college #college-major #physics #automotive #engine #mechanical #mechanics #money #any #elective #high-school #engineering #robotics #engineer #aerospace
