Does a degree in Visual Communication help when changing careers into media / entertainment industries?
Asked by Katie
I am an artist, enjoy writing and working in extremely creative environments. However, I have been working as a marketing executive in the IT industry for 5 years and am bored since my projects don't involve as much artistic/ creative thinking as I would like. I feel the need to break the rut and move into media / entertainment and want to brush up on my skills required in these industries before that.

Best Answer:
The degree does help because it shows that you have a background in Liberal Arts. You have knowledge among a large group of study areas. The entertainment companies will train you once they know where you will fit best in their organization. They never expect you to arrive already knowing about the media/entertainment field..
