hahahhahaa i was speaking to some girl doing a course at university
 

we chatted and she said she was going to do

"events managment"

:eek7 :eek7 :eek7 :eek7

how on earth is "events management" a subject you can take at university and spend 2-3 years on it????????

surely its just common sense and having a cool head.

who agrees?
the world is going socially bonkers!

I think that if you need to take three years of University to plan events you may have a huge problem. I don't doubt for one minute that it can be hectic sometimes with getting everything to come off without a hitch. BUT THREE YEARS:Oh crap

keep packing boxes and sigwhoring. you're on the right career path.

thanks my man!

1) acne?
2) lazonby?
3) lazycash?


im sure your one of them :winkwink:

ya... that does sound a bit whack.

I mean, I can understand that there's some business classes involved... perhaps some symbolic logic (to emphasize on that 'common sense' thing you mentioned)... maybe even some botany (so you know how to increase the survivability of floral arrangements :) )...

So sure... you could do it... but that certainly sounds like something you could easily jump into without having to pay for schooling in.

But you can get a degree in just about anything these days.

A "degree" in the field might mean you can jack up your price a bit, though...

It's a huge industry. I would love to see you setup an event of 1000+ people at a conference with no skills...LOL

He's an IDIOT:disgust

how does common sense, a months preperation with peoples details, and a cool head sound?

or what about 3 years at univerisity $12,000 a year + living costs,

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

seriously this course is a new one, loads of events have happend in the past succesfully.

this new career is just an exuse to go to university.

im planning to do business and something, something that has a broad area.

i mean wow events management, i could even hire pornojew do to that

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

tell me about it lol, i was gonna do a degree in soccer, and yes there is one! :upsidedow

This thread looks like SPAM

you pack boxes hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaaaaaaaaaa

i sure do and im proud of it!

Definitely not me, come on man I haven't been giving you a hard time lately. I figured he was Dark Jedi as he seemed to start posting as soon as DJ stopped. You're probably right though, sure seems to post like lazonby. As far as the thread goes, you wouldn't believe all the different types of degrees offered. There's some that are a lot harder to believe than "events mgt".

I bet her graduation party will kick ass though...

yep ok sorry about that lazycash, wont happen again.

it really depends on what the definition of an event is. There is a need for professional event planners. In the case of for example public speakers, someone who cordinates the entire speaking tour, across multiple locations, deals with the cultural and local legal requirements. These type of event planners would work for agencies like IMG and manage the logistics for all the events for dozens if not hundreds of professional speakers. They are not your standard party planner.

You look like an idiot.

scottybuzz, you must've misunderstood, EVENT MANAGEMENT is normally a course that business students take. There's also an advanced course and I'm sure you can do a thesis on it, but I seriously doubt it that there's any sane university out there teaching event management for three years...

that actually pays a lot. its a mix between marketing and pr i think.

There's a lot events that need pro planning done. Presentation, budget etc it's all important and I bet for big events not just anyone could do it. It seems simple because we basically dont know shit about it.

Just like most ppl think being a webmaster is an easy job.

i have some friends studding stuff u can learn online with a 5h tutorial...

Try organising a wedding with a couple hundread invites, with a hundread comming out of town...

When you go to an event you never realise how much work there is behind it.

well to get hired a degree helps

Dude you're a fucking retard... you don't know what you're talking about right there. You're talking about a billion dollar industry there. This is a big chunk of the entraintement business.

I've been part in organisation in 3000+ people events (raves and shows, on private proprety or rented arenas), and trust me this isn't no peice of cake. And this is nothing compared to what a big show like the rolling stones comming in town is.

Try filling a local bar and see how hard that is...

You gotta be involved with the local politicians, police, firefighters, hospitals, insurances, security and staff, insurance, secure a nice spot for the event etc etc... and that's just before you start organising your event.

you need to know the state and local laws for everything, you need to know finance administration and be able to read and write a good budjet.

Then you need to get the materials, but how do you know exactly what you need ? That can be a big different in the cost and the efficiency of the event.

How do you make the place secure and profitable at the same time ? And you have to make people confortable too...

After that you need to promote the event. Print, press, associations with other events and stuff.

Once again you're talking out of your ass on a subject you know nothing about. I'm glad you started making adult sites but if you're so smart, why aren't you making enourmous sums of money ? Hell event planning should be easy.

You are right, you normally get a course when you take business OR marketing.

But there are many places where they have extensive event management courses wich are fulltime...

Every sport event, show, casino or public venue that's big needs a good event manager, or many.

most non science courses in college are common sense

So let me get this straight... some loser who packs boxes and sigwhores for a living is laughing at someone who is getting an education in a multi-billion dollar industry?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No wonder you pack boxes.

They have to keep people busy that's whats it is all about.

you just need a brain and common sense, not a fucking degree. how do u think they coped before events management.

I suppose the rio carneval just didnt happen, and oz fest was a thing of the past.

stop smoking that crack, its a new subject that is pointless.

and theres no need to call me a fucking retard (even if i am on the wrong tracks), but hey, strangley thats what i expected from you. :Oh crap

and thus, in this thread, you have proven why you never will rise above being a box packer and a sigwhore. :2 cents:

heh - your true idiocy is shining through now... :disgust

well ok having read this through, i may have been a bit out of line and the day and age we live in now where people expect so much and if the tinyiest thing goes wrong they go whining off, then maybe it needs to be done so well.

for example this quote
But how many big big events are there? when so many are taking the subject up and down the country?

therefor it cant just be the big events like the music festivals in reading, but the small ones, which really do not need someone with a degree.

apologies too all i upset with my ignorance.

i expected you in this thread some how :1orglaugh :1orglaugh keep going troll boy

:) Made me smile, thanks :thumbsup

an alias of another whinging bitch perhaps?

apparently, those were all job titles people have put on actual resumes. :)

Concerts, the Olympics, etc etc

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_management

that you cannot comprehend the effect of say, a week long convention has on a local economy, the millions of dollars that will bring in and the complexity of such an enterprise, really explains a lot.

there are events to manage larger than the keg party you have to your at your factory every christmas, you know.
