Arts & Entertainment Career Requirements

Whether you're the star of the show or operating behind the scenes, a career in arts & entertainment is one ripe with variety. And you don't necessarily need talent to make it in the industry. Rather, formal training and a willingness to learn are highly-valued qualities that employers look for in a candidate.

Arts & Entertainment Career Profile
The career diversity is perhaps one of the biggest draws of the arts & entertainment industry. Those with natural performing talent find their way rather quickly; but there are a slew of positions on the business, technical, and support sides that allow you to be a part of the limelight. Chances are, there's a job that fits your particular interests and background.
  • Business. Management, production, finance, public relations, marketing, advertising.
  • Technical. Editing, multimedia, lighting, sound, design.
  • Support. Transportation, set-up, merchandising.
Prepare to Succeed
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 40% of arts & entertainment workers have no formal education beyond high school. However, for business and management careers in the industry, a bachelor's degree in an applicable subject is preferred. Industry hopefuls come from educational backgrounds in liberal arts, finance, history, or technical disciplines.

No matter what particular field of arts & entertainment you plan to enter, finding a successful mentor is critical. ArticlesBase reports that 'mentoring is probably the most frequently used method of sharing knowledge in our society worldwide'. Your mentor should have a passion for the business, a track record for accomplishment, and a genuine interest in helping you to succeed.
