What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
There are obviously internships. Most themed entertainment agencies have internships you can apply for.
A coordinator position is also a common entry-level role. Regardless of your background, many people start as a coordinator and then move into different departments.
A coordinator is a good role to step into when you're new and wanting to learn about the industry. It's a way to be on project teams, learn about other positions, and then move into the department you're most interested in.
