Hello! I am a first year University student in Canada who is undeclared at the moment in terms of a major but I am studying for all the breadth requirements for Bachelor of Commerce degree (University of Alberta). It's my dream to work in the film industry or just the entertainment industry in general but I am super conflicted as to what I should study next year and where to study. Edmonton, which is the city I am in, has absolutely no entertainment or film scene and there's little to no internships available here. I am considering the idea of transferring Universities to bigger cities in Canada like Vancouver or Toronto so that I can network, do co-op if I'm eligible, and take internships or PA positions at film companies while studying. I would like some advice because I have a couple dilemmas atm, if anyone would be willing to reach out or comment on my concerns I would be eternally grateful!! (also sorry if I sound really naive and stuck up, I really am not trying to appear immature. I know I'm only 18 but I'd rather take the risk than lose the chance to get to my career goals sooner)
Options:
1) Go to UBC in Vancouver and study for Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing specialist) or Bachelor of Business Administration (Management)
Pros: Beautiful city with lots of networking opportunities, one of the best Universities in Canada, looks good on resume, Sauder Business school in UBC is #1 in Canada, my dream city
Cons: Money blackhole, Sauder sucks the soul out of you apparently, risking a lot in terms of mental health, risk not landing internships, etc. (also not sure if I love business so much as to actually go to a prestigious Business school)
2) Stay in my home university and finish a Bachelor of Commerce degree (Marketing specialist)
Pros: saves me a ton of money, I get to be with my family and friends, mental health is probably better, apply for co-op in my city for non-entertainment industries (but also might not get into co-op program)
Cons: travel out of the city for relevant internships, risk not networking, slower foot in the door towards my career goals, probably get an MBA at another University if I don't get any internships outside of my city relevant to my career goals
3) Go to UofT in Toronto and studying for Bachelor of Business Administration (Management and Marketing) or Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing specialist)
Pros: "big apple of Canada" LOL so lots of networking and internship opportunities, best University in Toronto, prestigious and looks good on resume, less cocky than Sauder business school (I think)
Cons: expensive, super competitive (but what University isn't), being away from home, weather is eh but better than Edmonton, risk not landing internships or co-op
If you made it this far bless your soul I love you. I just really need guidance from anyone right now. I tried reaching out to many counsellors and advisors but they're all biased to their Universities so I'm relying on Reddit now. Btw I am studying Business because I heard studying towards a Film Production degree is useless but if you want to give me some insight on that feel free!
THANKS!
