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

In terms of event advertising, what are some key tips to help promote and increase participant turn-out?

I served as President and Director of Marketing for my Residence Hall Council. As result, I had to make several flyers promoting the events we were hosting. Thanks to some of my prior art and design classes, I had some understanding of what captured people's attentions. However, I knew there was more to what I was doing. We tried different tactics to get the word out to our residents, hoping more people would start showing up to the events. Is there any advice that you could offer for future advertising and marketing ventures? I am an Outdoor Recreation major and would love to have a job that deals with planning and execution of activities, events, camps, etc. and I believe this would be valuable information to have going in. #marketing #advertising #event-planning #planning #service #commercial #outdoor-recreation #promotion

I am an Outdoor Recreation major. Right now in class, we are heavily debating the fight against technology and outdoor services. I believe that electronic technology is something that we can no longer "fight," but rather embrace and use it to promote other existing aspects of life. What techniques would you suggest for accepting technology into outdoor settings, without taking away from the experience? #psychology #tech #event-planning #planning #outdoor-recreation #sport-psychology #tech-pr

What classes should you take for entertainment management?

I want to go into the Entertainment Management side of things (though I'm still not sure exactly what job I want to target). I don't think I've seen "Entertainment Management" listed as a major in any of the colleges I've looked at. Do you know of any colleges that do? If not, what major am I supposed to pursue to end up in entertainment management? I always see sports management but I'm not interested in going in to sports. I also always see hotel management and I'm not interested in that either. I want to pursue more of managing actors or singers, or even putting on music festivals or red carpet events. #college-major #entertainment #media #event-planning #entertainment-industry #media-events

What is the best major for me to pursue in college if I want to be an event planner?

I want to be an event producer, however there are very few schools who offer that major. Event planning is a major, however it most likely won't provide me with the best degree in order to be flexible in my job choice after college. Therefore, I was wondering what would be the next best thing for me to major in that would teach me multiple skills that I can utilize for an event planning career. People have told me business, public relations, and even marketing. How do I know which one to choose and which is right for me and my dream? #business #marketing #public-relations #event-planning
