I am due to start my degree in international festival and event management this September but not sure if my dream job is in events.
I spoke to a careers advisor a few weeks ago because I feel my drive is more marketing but the advisor wasn’t helpful at all. I spoke to my uni and asked for a course change to marketing but my grades weren’t enough and offered to do a foundation as well.
The sort of thing I want to do is events for movie premiers like red carpets, product launches, really fun engaging events especially with big film/entertainment companies like WB and Disney. However I believe this is all under marketing? I also like the idea of experiential marketing which is like adverts brought to life which sometimes allows customers to get involved. again i think this is under marketing.
a friend recommended requesting to swap course before end of 1st year for marketing which im considering but would i still be rejected with my grade?
I am stuck between leaving it and doing my degree in events then do a masters in marketing? or try to swap to marketing and do a masters in events?
many thanks
