Question

I am a finance major and I am into film as well. Is there anything I can do that combines the two? Are there any well-known companies in a field like this? Or even are there people that analyze data and predict success of films prior to release to tell venture capitalists to fujnd them?

Answer 1

Other than work in a treasury department for a production company, I think you're SOL. That doesn't mean you can't or won't find something, but to make the most money and or actually find a job, you probably won't go into theater. I majored in finance and work as an accountant. Keep this in mind, if you make good money - you can do as much on the side as you want - and get involved in those other things in your spare time. Your objective should be to secure a great fiancial future, if at all possible.
