My dream job has been to be a tour manager since i was 12. Im 15 now and i really need to know what kind of college education is needed. I was thinking buissness and financing. And also how to get the job, things like internships. Would they help in the process of actually getting a full time paying job as a tour manager? Please respond! And thank you for the amazing insight!:)
@slapyalaterr, start with learning how the system works. its your job to be their parent, so to speak so you really do need to know everything up to the point that your band only has to move to vehicle, to hotel, to venue and back to hotel. thats it. rest is your problem, including the money part.
most tour managers are utter idiots suffering inferiority complexes hoping for attention. Generally they give a band a bad reputation. They need to remind themselves they are just workers like everyone else, this includes helping the bands fans (>> customers who pay their salaries).
I really want to become a tour manager someday. And I accept the fact that it's not so glamorous and glitzy... hey how did you start out? Did you know the band before managing their tour?
