Event management career.
Event Manager:
I've settled into event management and enjoyed the role because I have a strong attention to detail and I love working with clients.
I wish I new how difficult it is to find Event Management roles that pay more than $60,000 per year. After 8 years working in event management I haven't had many opportunities to earn more than this. If I wanted to work in a different role - for example as a professional conference organiser - people in these jobs have told me it's extremely stressful with lots of overtime and difficult clients.
Event management can be a stressful job, and there aren't often overtime policies - you'll work a lot of overtime with no reward.
It is fun working with clients, I've loved working on weddings and corporate events.

Be prepared to manage stress and thrive in that environment.

Event sales and management coordination and fulfillment.
Event Manager:
Pros: I enjoy the wedding industry and the nature of the ever changing business. Working with couples in this happy stage of their lives and helping to fulfill their dreams makes me satisfied. Organization and coordination are my key assets.
