How to get into event planning?

Should I get into Event Planning if I have an Interior Design Degree?

• I have a AA interior design and architecture degree at a private university. I cant go for my BA because the school is way too expensive unfortunately. I also want to get into event planning as well. Do I need to take the classes to get a event planning job? I looked up the courses online and I already know how to do the majority of stuff from my pervious school and had experience school wise. I'm kind of stuck, I don't know if I should go to another school thats cheaper and get my BA or do event planning and get another AA. The reason why I want both degrees is because I want to open up my own interior design and event planning business in the future.. it's always been a dream of mine and I know I would be amazing at both. Thanks for the advise! (I have already taken some business classes)

• Answer:

  If you own a degree - or any other qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the masses when it comes to hunting for jobs. My buddy has a degree and he wasn't sure what direction to go with it, but he found some great tips and tricks on the website in the resource box below which helped him to settle that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is lots of assistance on the website regarding other jobs.
