What should I study in university to get a job in the U.S.A. or Canada?

Joop asked:

Hello everyone,

I live in Thailand and I wanna be a Hollywood Actor, Film director/Screenwriter. I’m not rich but I’ve talents, I don’t have enough money to spend for Acting or Film Making School in the U.S.A., where is the best and biggest Film Industry in the world.

It’s much more harder to have the dreams that don’t mesh with what my parents want. They won’t afford me for it so I’ve to try by myself. Why don’t I find a job? It’s impossible to get enough money from PT job in developing country. That’s why I’ve to apply for university.

Applying for Acting or Film in university here is a waste of time. Some said I’d better to try something else that give me more chances to find job in the U.S.A., then start my dreams.

Is it a good way? If it is, so what should I study in university that will give me more chances to work in the U.S.A. or Canada? I also have talented in writing and learning language. Should I apply for B.A. Russian? If you have any idea please let me know

    What subject so you want to study? A major in art is good preparation for a career in filming or theatre arts. Other possible majors are theatre, and anything in the fine arts field.

    Do you have a green card?

    Two deep thoughts:

    First, there is much disenchantment with students who have specialized in certain areas and cannot “see the big picture”. Computer science students and MBAs, in particular, are much mocked in Canadian and American business circles because many of the people holding them are shallow bean counters with very poor people skills and even less common sense.

    I would recommend a good, well-rounded bachelor of arts degree in something like history or political studies. Take classes in widely varying fields. My own background includes things as disparate as geology, accounting, political studies and psychology — all of which I use in my life as a businessman.

    Any damned fool can learn about accounting and marketing in a few months. But having the big picture in your head and being able to get along with people is something that is far more important.

    Second, remember this old saying: get a job that you love and you will never work a day in your life.
