2. Overview: I wish to be successful in the television business, mainly because I want to entertain the masses and to get something out of life. I like the fact of that you create characters and stories within the business. There are writers, producers, directors, and mainly more.

3. Job Descrpition Producers oversee all editing and the sound effects (which is nice), make all decisions in production, oversee the hiring of actors and motivating them, and analyze scripts and decide visual effects. I kinda like the power of all of these.

4. Training & Educational Requirements A college degree is not mandatory, yet some post-secondary training in business and finance is recommended. The ability to communicate and write is essential. Training in business is very useful because it can help the producers to further understand his/her job. On-the-job experience is also useful, because it can help the producer by watching other producers managing the set.
