For those of you currently reading this sentence, that don't really know what this is, my name is Jared Much, a senior at High Point University, and welcome to my blog! I want to firstly bring up that we should all be grateful to live in a society where it is acceptable to have a passion for anything, and doing so will lead to a job one day. This past summer, I had the absolute upmost pleasure to work for Live Nation Entertainment, which is the #1 leading live entertainment company on the planet. I felt nothing but great honor to work for such a prestigious company, because I one day hope to work in the live entertainment industry. This is an industry that not only makes me happy, but an industry I am excessively passionate about. This summer working for Live Nation, my job title was Fan Ambassador. This essentially meant that my job was to manage fans, make sure they are safe, and enjoying their experience at the show. My main focuses were to manage fans to ensure that we kept lines short, crowds under control, and fans in their seats happy. Our motto is "Fans, creating once in a lifetime experiences, for fans." It was somewhat difficult work in all honesty, especially the days where we had large crowds, of up to 22,000 people. There were instances where I had to break open bathroom stalls, because intoxicated people were not responsive. Tasks like this made me uncomfortable, but I complied, because this is a dream industry. I also took this opportunity to flashback to a case study done by fellow classmates, about seeking discomfort in life. Because I am a senior, graduating is upon me, and so is the job hunt. All I hope to myself is that I can one day find a job within the field of live entertainment that I truly enjoy. Something like concert promotions, or concert marketing, or my ultimate goal would be to be on tour with a band, working behind the scenes. Not only did I work for Live Nation Entertainment, but I also work for LaneOne, and CID Entertainment, as ambassadors. These are also entertainment companies, that deal with all the VIP ticket purchasers. My main roles are to check them in, escort them to seats, and distribute merchandise. All three of these current positions now combined, should hopefully give me plenty of experience to obtain a live entertainment employment position within the coming year. All in all, so far, I feel accomplished in my life because I have already gotten my foot well-into the door that it needs to be in. I hope this will one day payoff, and work, will not be considered work in my future ;)
