Green Light Jobs: Media & Entertainment Career Network

Here is a great site to show your students the jobs that are out there and where they are.  There are other resources out there, but this site is US centric and seems to be up to date.  Get them to start planning their media & entertainment career.
Let me tell you, location is not everything, but where you live can really determine what you actually do and after reading “Who’s Your City?” by Richard Florida, location really makes a difference.  Many thought that with the rise of the internet, one can live just about anywhere.  If that is the case why do certain jobs congregate in specific area or regions . . .

Globalization is not flattening the world; on the contrary, the world is spiky. Place is becoming more relevant to the global economy and our individual lives. The choice of where to live, therefore, is not an arbitrary one. It is arguably the most important decision we make, as important as choosing a spouse or a career. – Richard Florida.

So check it out your your perspective career or job market.  Is your area a hot bed for jobs?  If not, do you move or analyze your local market and build from there.  Either way, it is worth looking into.  --  Cornell
