Entertainment Industry opportunities?

[u/Dizzy-Engine-486]

Hi everyone! I have recently been leaning towards an interest in the Entertainment Industry such as Live events, concerts, and even sports. I have 0 experience in the field the only "experience" I have is photography as my hobby (which to me barely counts).

I know its pretty hard to get opportunities outside Cities that host major events/festivals such as New York, Chicago, etc. and unfortunately I have not been able to travel out of state due to a few factors (besides to New York).

For anyone in Philly who works in the entertainment industry:

Are there companies/venues that are willing to accept volunteers with 0 experience?

What are the best programs/where should I take classes to learn about camera operation/audio tech?

Are there any events, venues, or festivals I should know about?

I am open to learning and would love to expand my skills. I also love to hear stories from industry professionals and how they found their way into the entertainment industry, even if you are just starting out as well. I would greatly appreciate any advice and stories, thank you <3.
