What entry-level positions might an undergraduate college student consider in this field?
I think with a degree in media, you might be able to get an internship at a DJ or production company. People interested in organizing and producing events are going to thrive in that environment.
An internship where you assist the DJ at an event or wedding offers a better vantage point. It's hard to see everything around you when you're actually DJing.
If you get a position assisting a DJ, helping with setup and small tasks, you can really see how an event is produced. You'll understand the overall flow of everything.
Starting out as an assistant or intern for a production company would be a great start.
