    The best career choice is definitely BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. Why? Because business administration is focused on the administrative process which is basic and essential to event planning. It teaches you the whole process; planning, organization, leadership and control. Yes, hospitality and management can teach you important things but you can learn those things on a course or by experience. Business administration will teach you how to actually build and run your business.

      It’s definitely a toss up for #1 if the average person were debating college majors for this career path. Personally I 100% agree with you. I’m a huge proponent of a business major and learning the creative process of planning and such through experience, but for the sake of picking the best major for a niche specific job...It’s just got to be stated that the degree specifically curated around the niche career by default is the “best” choice from an accredited institution.
      In any case, I strongly feel a successful career can be bred from either (even from those who don’t choose to pursue a degree) depending on the individual’s work ethic.

    Just found your channel and have binged through multiple videos of yours and absolutely love how informative all of them are. After working in childcare for 5 years I'm in need of a career change and thought about event management/planning but would always go back and forth and put myself down thinking about whether or not I could do it. After watching your videos I've decided to take the leap and enrol into a event management course we have available in Australia and I can't wait to get started, gain knowledge and build up my confidence to eventually start my own business!

      😯 Oh wow...that’s steep. Well I wouldn’t necessarily say don’t take it if you really wanted to. It really just depends on your goals for your event planning career. If you want to gain the knowledge for yourself and have it on your resume I’d say do it, if it’s worth the money to you. I just want you to know that you are not required to take it to start or be successful in this industry! 💕

      I cant believe people are going to college for this. Events are about being able to think on your feet and figure out issues quickly.

    • @BashBesties
      @BashBesties  Pƙed 3 lety +8

      Hello Shenae, I definitely think the best way to start your event planning career is just to start! We know college can’t replace the hands on experience that you get through real life situations. On the flip side, if someone wants to go to college, that’s their preference. Some people think it helps them feel more knowledgeable and prepared going into the industry, some people just planned to attend college anyways no matter what career they were going to pursue. So it’s definitely not a requirement as all of us in the industry know very well, but hey to each their own. If you’re getting a degree in business and you plan to start your own event planning business that extra knowledge is not going to hurt. People have to find their own way to their success the way that feels good for them and fits their lifestyle, we can’t judge, only support and advise. 😊💕

    Awesome video! I personally have a Business Degree and an Event Management Certificate from Mount Royal University. Both have been invaluable in my career as an Event Professional. One thing you didn't mention was affiliations with associations. Although these can be costly and are not required I personally believe they can be helpful in building relationships with other event professionals and having access to educational information in this industry. I am a member of ILEA, which has been such a huge support to it's members in these crazy COVID times!

  • @estifanosberta-samuel2570

    Awesome content thank you for sharing! This is true I studied Entertainment from A to Z and Communications in undergrad and also went back to school for business admin. Working in TV production, as well, has served me greatly on an international scale as a fashion coordinator for photo shoots, fashion showcases and other fashion based events. I never studied directly how to operate in this capacity but I drew from all of my education & professional experiences to transmute them into the services I’ve provided. I’ve recently created training for skills transfer and development in Africa and you’re correct, the cert. is just to say one has studied but the work remains to be manifested which is your personal calling card in business.

    • @BashBesties
      @BashBesties  Pƙed 4 lety +1

      Couldn’t have said it better! That’s always what I recommend is drawing skills from your own unique background and/or education to integrate into your event business. Standard business principles are usually similar across all industries, so no matter if you majored in any of the stated majors you should be able to utilize the knowledge learned and apply it!

It all depends on if you work for a firm, are independent, location, type of event, you clientele’s income class, etc So you’d could make a couple hundred on an event to thousands depending on those factors which will be unique to you!

    Do you get more business on the weekend or during the week? What are your operation hours like?

    • @BashBesties
      @BashBesties  Pƙed 4 lety +2

      So, basically all week all day. Clients can inquire every day of the week at all different times of the day. As a general rule the sooner you respond the better, but this can be hard to keep a good schedule for yourself. I do most admin, like emails, client consults, planning, and shopping during the week.
      9.5 times out of 10 your events are always on the weekend. However, if there’s say Spring Break then you may get a lot of weekday requests since many people have time off around that time. You have to try to set work hours for yourself that suit your lifestyle because you can end up working all the time as an entrepreneur. I get into my office around 9 usually after I take my kids to school, and get off when it’s time to pick them up around 2-3. If I need to come back I will or I’ll just work from the computer or do the other things I can do with them, like the shopping or errands. 💕

    • @BashBesties
      @BashBesties  Pƙed 3 lety

      I think most people feel like they are supposed to have a “license” “certificate” or “degree” in almost every industry. I think people feel it will kind of validate them in the field. Since there are no barriers to entry I think that’s why folks crave certification to get that feeling of being legitimate in the beginning. There are some specific corporations, private firms, or clients that may require it, but for the most part it’s about your skill level and portfolio, so it just all depends on where an individual plans to work. I think the misconception is that you can just get it right away. It’s not even something to be thinking about until you’ve been in this career for years so in the beginning it’s nothing to even worry about...and probably by the time you can get one you won’t even care anymore 😄

    • @BashBesties
      @BashBesties  Pƙed 3 lety

      Hello! So it’s not that it’s completely useless. Its just not required! It’s not a barrier to enter the field. Many people are tricked into believing you need to get “certified” first to be an event planner ( specification by taking some online $1,000 certification course from a private company unusually)....but in all actuality it takes you being a full time event planner for up to 5-7 years to even be able to take the test for real industry recognized certification, and there’s only about 3 major certifications at that. These online courses everyone is taking aren’t true certification in the industry, they mean you received “certification” for completing their course. It’s misleading to people entering the industry and it’s not an overall requirement to be an event planner.....but furthering education can never be a bad thing, so it’s all up to you on what makes you feel more comfortable entering the field!

    Hi! My name is Ronak Patel and I am a hospitality major with a concentration in event planning at Stephen F. Austin State University.

What do you think I should do?

    • @BashBesties
      @BashBesties  Pƙed rokem +1

      Hello Ronak, if you intend to be an event planner I would say a hospitality degree with a specialization in event planning would be an ideal major. If you find that there’s a school that has a better program and you have the opportunity to switch with burdening you then I don’t see a problem with transferring. I would just recommend you do your research and the go with what your feels right for your goals. 😊

      It’s very common when starting in this industry, so don’t think you’re the only one. It’s even more so right now during this pandemic where the opportunities to jump in are very limited, but it will not always be like this. It’s a good time to start planning for your launch. You have to decide do you want to work as an event planner for another company, like a hotel or your own? If it’s your own use this time to create mock shoots showcasing your work and start your business website and social media pages. It may not be much since you might not have as much to work with at first but it’s a start and it’s practice. You can also start researching your local businesses what types of services are they offering? What’s the price points? What’s in a standard package across the board? How can I stand out among them or specialize?
