Since I was little, I've always wanted to do something fun, creative, independent and well-paid as a job. Every day I remind myself that I will never forgive me if I have to do an office job. It would just synthetic everything I hate in a job: no fun, non-creativity and low wages. Luckily, I have found the perfect one that ticked all the boxes in what I look for in a job. And undoubtedly, that is to become a event planner. A career in event planning offers many personal and professional rewards. First, it's the recognition. Events involve people – usually large groups of people – and you'll fast become known as the person behind the scenes who gets the job done and makes sure everything is done flawlessly. Event planning is a great way to get to know your community, and will help you network with the movers and shakers in your town, your state, and even beyond.
Like I have stated, event planning seizes great deals of financial rewards. With the increased recognition of event planning as an industry, professionals in the field are seeing an increase in compensation in both the business and nonprofit arenas. Event planners on average make an earning of nearly $40,000/ year. Moreover, the top 10 planners even make themselves over $20,000 richer. Those who work for associations can expect to earn a bit less on average - about 84 percent of these figures. Still, it's a dream to many people. Of course, if you start your own event planning business, your income potential is much higher, and will reflect the growth and success of your business from year to year.
Thereafter, if you've ever known the satisfaction that comes from working incredibly hard on a challenge and seeing outstanding results, you can understand why event planning can be so rewarding on a personal level. Financial and professional rewards are fine, but what a gift it is to find a career that pays you to have this much fun! This is the revolution of casual shopping! Just imagine how many pieces of jewelry you'll try on, all those cupcakes that you'll get to eat as "samples" and cocktails you'll would die to taste again.
