Hey, this is Samantha from EventMB and today we are going to talk about 5 reasons event planning can be the worst - and the best - job on earth.
Your job within the event world might let you meet interesting people, travel to beautiful places and enjoy experiences that friends or family might envy. The perks can be really great, but there are so many challenges.
Sometimes these things make the job a drag, but they can also be the best part!
Long Hours
Office hours are out the window when you become an eventprof. You will most likely be working nights, weekends and extended hours leading up to your event and on the day itself.
While it can be tough to work these crazy long hours you will find that these are the times that you really bond with your event team and have fun working together. Celebrate and relax once your event is over.
High Levels of Stress
While we all take pride in planning every last detail, you never know what might happen at an event. Being an event coordinator constantly ranks as of the top 5 most stressful careers (yawn!). Stress can really take its toll, or even lead to burnout, and have some planners looking for a new career.
Find a way to thrive under the pressure to really succeed in this industry. Pride yourself as someone who is calm, cool and collected when others might crumble. Part of the fun is event planning is the adrenaline of thinking on your feet and adapting to every new situation.
Travel
Jet setting sounds amazing but can be exhausting and lonely.
If you travel often for work, find ways to enjoy and embrace the experience. Try tacking on a few extras days where you can and bring a family member or friend along for the trip.
Always Being Connected
Answering calls in the middle of the night might not sound like something you would expect an event planner to do, but rest assured all of us have been there. From emails to calls to managing social media you might find yourself unable to disconnect.
In between important events there will be moments where you are able to unplug, but during a your busy periods clients, attendees, vendors and venues will all be vying for your urgent attention.
The great part about being so connected is that this leaves many event planners with the ability to work from any destination or at any time. The flexibility of not being chained to a desk all day is a huge perk of the event industry.
Variety
As an event planner it seems that no two days are ever the same, so if you are looking for an easy life it probably isn’t the best option.
At the same time, this unpredictability is what makes an event management career so much fun! Every event is like taking on a new adventure. You will always be learning new skills and meeting new people. Not many jobs or careers can offer the same variety.
Event planning can be a very tough job. There will be times that you wonder why you got into this career in the first place, but hopefully these moments are few and far between. More often than not the things that make the event planner job tough, can also be what make it so enjoyable. Take time to learn from each experience and challenge you encounter to be a super event professional.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
