Did I say Intern? An intership is a great way to decide what you what to do in the field. You might intern and find that you hate the day to day duties of your dream job. You might come across a position you did not even think of while interning. Even if your school does not require an intership-get one anyway. The more the better. Sometimes you can make a contact thar will hire you after graduation. Here is an internship with Lionsgate:
