WWE › First, I just want to say I am a huge fan of yours and respect how invested you are in the product. I’m sure you get this question all the time, but I hope mine is a little different. I will be graduating from Texas A&M University in Dec with a degree in Sociology. I have grown up a huge wrestling fan, and am truly passionate about the company. I've looked for positions in the company on the corporate website, but the positions listed are not entry level. I want to learn every aspect of the industry, but I don't know where to begin. I am looking to start from the bottom, and work my way to the top. Once I graduate, I will have no ties keeping me in one place. I am NOT looking to become a wrestler in any capacity; I just would rather work for a company that I am invested in rather than looking for the highest salary. I am looking to start a career, and just need that foot in the door position. What position do you recommend applying for that has the opportunity for advancement? Do you think it would be smart to move to Stamford and apply for something there? Or should I be looking at a position with the ring crew, and if so where would one apply for that?

J.R.'s Answer:
I would keep looking at the corporate website, seek interviews, and perhaps even consider visiting FCW in Tampa to see what they may have. Learning how to edit video tape, run a TV camera, run an audio board, etc might be of great help. Nonetheless the road into a relatively small business as it relates to people in the company is challenging. Best of luck.
