Hi! I am looking to be a journalistic editor in the future, and I am very curious as to what some people's journeys have been on this route.

How do I enter the entertainment industry through hard work and talent?
I want to become a director of some sort of entertainment media but I often get the sense that to even get an opportunity you have to be well connected to powerful or influential people. I know talent isn't always the most important factor to getting noticed, but, is there a way to become a leader in the entertainment industry through self made opportunities? If so, what are the most effective steps to take?

Should I apply for college or enter the workforce?
I’ve been a bit anxious about the college and career path that I want to take after high school. I initially wanted to be an editor but I’m still on the fence about it. I’m also not sure if I want to go to college or try to enter the work field immediately after graduation. College applications are approaching fast and I’m not sure exactly what to do at this point. Where should I go from here? Note: this question was anonymously submitted by a learner

Recently I want to get back into that groove, so I was just wondering if there are any resources, internships, etc. that can help me improve the quality and even grow.

How can I make money with a communications degree?
I will start college in January 2025 as a junior because of my college credits (I’m a photography intern now at my community college). I originally applied to an art school to pursue filmmaking editing but was waitlisted so I decidedto pursue communications (media production) at another school was a close second. But I’m worried that I won’t make any money or won’t end up with atleast a job out of college. My dream job/goal is to edit aesthetic videos , I love cinematography but I am struggling to learn premier pro without a in person teacher and junior year is the year for internships. Should I stick with the communications major and see where it leads me, eventually learning how to edit on my own? Or Should I just major in finance for money and minor in photography on the side ? Any advice would help 🥲

What about photography?
Hi my name is Yunuelle or you can call me Yun. I'm going to high school next year. So basically I'm thinking about doing photography. My dad is a photographer and I did this one event with him. He also does videos and after I edit them. And I guess you can say I'm good. My favourite part though is editing. Even though it takes forever. But after the event, I wasn't too sure anymore. I also really want to be successful. So my questions are, Is doing photography worth it? Is it good money to have a great life? And what is the most you've traveled?

Elk RiverHow do you know which type of Editor you want to be?
I am thinking of pursuing editing as a career, but I do not know if I should pursue an editing job for magazines, newspapers, or books, or go into advertising. I know advertising is where the money is at, but I love to read.
