[quote=Anonymous]I worked in hospitality for years. She needs to intern with an event planner before deciding. Agree with PPs about a degree in Hospitality, Business or PR. I think she might change her mind when she sees what being a full time event planner looks like. You basically have to be willing to give up your weekends (if you are doing weddings / special events) and be ok working around the clock. It is not as glamorous as the movies make it out to be. Event planners are some of the hardest workers I know and so great at logistics. Another great start would be as a meeting planner for an association or company. She can get the experience she needs and then move to social events if she wants to. The hours are better for corporate meetings and events. There are several organizations that have student programs, Meeting Planners International is one. [/quote]
