How realistic is it to pursue a job in theatre management and what steps should I take to do this?
I am currently a freshman in college, and I am realizing that my passions lie in the theatre world, but more so in the management side. I would love to pursue a career in theatre management whether that be a project manager for a theatre or shooting for the stars to be the artistic director of a theatre. However, I'm not sure if this is a feasible goal, or if I should be more realistic and stick to my current plan of being an English & Creative Writing: Publishing major and pursue a career in publishing. I am also curious what I should major in if I do decide to switch majors and remove my English & Creative Writing: Publishing major. I currently attend the University of Iowa, and they do have a good Business school, but I also know that Iowa is known for their Writing programs and not necessarily their Business or Theatre programs. I definitely know that whatever I do, I am keeping Theatre Arts as a second major because I have a lot of college credits from high school that allow me to do so. Should I let theatre just be my "fun thing," or can I turn this passion into a realistic career? How would I get a job after college with a reasonable salary I can sustain myself off of? How difficult is it to actually pursue a theatre management career? How long will it take for me to climb my way up to a well-paying job? Basically, my biggest question is, is it worth it/realistic?

Nonprofit/Organization, Awards, Challenges?
Hello! I am currently a freshman in high school, and my interest lay mainly in architecture and business (specifically hospitality), as I want to create my own hotel brand.

How can I get a Project Management Job? It's really hard :(
I’m a Management fresh graduate from one of the universities in Indonesia. I’ve been searching for a job as a Project Manager for over three months now, but I haven’t had much success. Even securing an internship has been challenging due to the high requirements—most positions ask for at least one year of professional work experience as a project manager. It feels like a paradox: how am I supposed to gain experience if even getting an internship is so difficult? I’ve also tried looking for opportunities in other ASEAN countries through LinkedIn, but the results have been the same. While I may not have professional experience as a Project Manager, I do have some relevant project management experience. I interned as a business consultant, where I managed several projects, and I also worked on project management tasks during my exchange program in Malaysia. Currently, I’m taking Google’s Project Management courses on Coursera to strengthen my skills. If anyone has advice on what I can do to improve my chances of getting hired or knows of any internship/full-time opportunities for Junior Project Manager roles, I’d greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you!
