Top 5 Worst Jobs In Kenya’s Entertainment Industry!
Not all that glitters is gold. Sometimes, polished brass glimmers just as brightly. And therein lies the trap for most people trying to get into the entertainment scene. The business is ruthless! And i have compiled a list of some of the jobs that suck in the entertainment circles. ask your friends and they’ll tell you how things go! But for now, check out the list below:
#5. Being an event photographer
This task sucks because you have to remain focused and sober at a party! I’ve tried it at Changes and i always end up having to give out the camera when the thirst gets real! And as if that’s not bad enough, everyone and their aunties want a photo. And when the photo comes out looking less than appealing, they blame you asthough their faces didn’t factor into making the photo horrible.
The upside however is that you get to meet alot of new people.
#4. Being a radio comptroller/ producer
This job sucks because you have to sift through tons of tracks and decide which ones gets played. That means that you have to shatter dreams. And then then the phone calls start. Your cousin’s girlfriends sister’s flame wants to know why you aren’t playing his track.
#3. Being a groupie
Before you knock the hassle, try it for a day. Don’t knock the hustle though because some people’s vacation is working horizontally and even that is exhausting work. It’s really hard. I often watch lasses pander for attention from celebrities then get tossed aside like stale gum. The books i could write!
The groupie also has the task of stroking even the most washed up artist’s ego. Talk about multitasking, stroking two different things at once!
#2. Being a personal assistant
There are some celebrities with very random and peculiar requests. This is the lot that would ask for water from the Himalayas. Ok, so maybe that doesn’t exist in Kenya. But have you ever tried working with a man-child? The type of celebrity whose diary is organized by a personal assistant/manager only for the chap not to bother to show up. Nothing is as unappreciative as that!
#1. Being in direct competition with Ghafla
Think about it. Which other entertainment site do you know? Check their Alexa ranking. We crushed them. We take no prisoners. Unless they are as funny as this tractionless lad X-Calibur who took shots at Ghafla. Read about that here.
