How do i go about moving to America to work as an Event Planner?
Asked by :-)danny.
I am in my last year at high school in the UK, and my dream job would be to be an Event Planner in the USA, preferably in Los Angeles or NYC, but how do i go about doing this? What courses would i need to take at college in the UK? Also how would i go about moving over there and how would i get a job? Can UK students move over there and get internships? Any information would be greatly appreciated thanks:-).

Best Answer:
I don't want to burst your bubble but America right now is in a recession and Event Planners are not the most sought after employees regardless of your education. Why not major in medicine and then transfer your skills and interests once gainfully employed in the US and making good money. Event Planners do not require as much education as they do familiarity with matching clients to products and services to take the stress off the clients. It's unlikely there are internships for planners as there would be in nursing and other medical specialties. Follow your heart in what you do but use your head. If you are thinking of moving to LA or NY, please understand the costs of living ... there are enough homeless people there already.

You need to get a job with an established event planner. Unless you already have many contacts - both suppliers and large party givers, you will not make it.
