Whether it’s magazines, books and newspapers…or digitally delivered content, like music, news, sports, movies, TV shows or social media…the global colossus of Media & Entertainment takes up an ever growing space in all of our lives.  And as that space grows it creates exciting and rewarding jobs, jobs you need to know about if you’re considering a career in Media & Entertainment.

It’s a great industry, but Breaking In comes with a tough challenge.  Because Media & Entertainment covers every aspect of our lives and changes daily, there are very few  well-defined career paths to follow.  That’s why you need to learn how to focus your efforts before you choose a college or a course of study…and as simple as that sounds, it’s never been harder to do.  The explosion of new technology and forms of entertainment have made it almost impossible for anyone not already in the business to know which segments of global Media & Entertainment are growing, declining or getting ready to be born.

That’s why we created Breaking In, the first program that brings you face to face with young men and women who aren’t much older than you, who have figured out how to find their own places in the wide world of Media & Entertainment.  At this year’s Breaking In program you’ll hear their first-hand insights and advice about what they studied and which internships and other programs were most worthwhile.  Best of all, they’ll talk about what they wish they had done when they were your age.  You’ll also hear where these young professionals believe the Media & Entertainment industry is going in the near and distant future…which parts will grow or shrink…and where you’ll find your own best opportunities to Break In.  Finally, you’ll also learn from these aspiring Media & Entertainment executives how their jobs shape their personal lives, something you need to seriously consider before committing to a career.

College is one of the biggest investments of time and money you’ll ever make.  If you’re considering a career in Media & Entertainment, you owe it to yourself to know everything you can possibly know about it before you make the decisions that will shape your life.  Join us at Breaking In.
