Working in the music or entertainment industry puts you in daily contact with some of the most interesting personalities our culture has yet produced. And even here, in the music and entertainment industry, there is a large machine, with some choice as to where you can fit in. You can work with music publishers, you can work with record labels, or you could work with individual artists or actors/actresses. Each of these requires a specific set of skills you will develop as you go.
Working as an entertainment attorney promoting concerts, for instance, puts you ego to ego with a musical team that might want specific contracts written about locations of shows, show times, show dates, and the structure of performances. Such contracts could even detail the sorts of beverages put in the back room. If musical biographies interest you, putting yourself into the nitty gritty of the musical experience might help you share the excitement of a career in music. Similarly, working with an actor or actress will make you feel like you are a part of their life, for better or worse.
Certainly issues of contracts, negotiations, agreements, copyrights, trademarks, sponsorship, and endorsements come into place. Not only that, but you must be able to explain not only the legal language, but the entertainment industry language, in terms understandable by your clients.
