What Comes After an Entry-Level Job?

Many Americans grew up with the idea that there is a set career ladder that they can climb if they work hard enough - but unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work this way in the film industry.

In this episode, we talk about...

• Whether or not Hollywood has a career ladder, whether the way the system currently works makes it impossible to move up in the industry, and who is trying to change the system.
• How frustrating it is that when you want to make a slight career change, it’s hard to make lateral transitions without starting at the very bottom.
• How opportunities in the industry are still limited to mostly serve people of a certain class, a certain race, and a certain gender.
• The fact that there is an expectation for people to spend their twenties working overtime at the poverty level just to move up in their career.
• Why there should be more mentorship opportunities in the film industry.
• Blender, a free tool for model-building from Adobe!
• Whether or not to form an LLC.
