The factual, informative style of “Inside the Industry:Entertainment” by Marcia Lusted is a useful resource to determine the practicality of a career in entertainment.  Many of the kinds of employment  available  in this industry are behind the scenes and are as creative and dynamic as the “star” roles.  By investigating  the  requirements of each job, the talents needed for that job are discussed. This industry is attractive to creative, expressive, musical types of individuals, as well as engineers, electricians, computer geeks and technicians.   Questions about how to get a job, which jobs are most in demand or what  are  the  educational  requirements are addressed.    Careers from music teacher, screen writer, film director, orchestra conductor or television actor are analyzed. This book could be very helpful in guiding  a student from the dreams of a career in the creative world of entertainment to the practical reality of actually working in that field.
