Depending on what kind of event planning you would decide to go into you have to be prepared to travel A LOT with very very long days - at LEAST 14 hours. When you travel for tradeshows you are typically working by 6:30am if not earlier and then don't get a chance to really relax until you get back to your hotel room which, in my experience, is 10pm or later. Then you get to do it all over again the next day. You may also have back to back events. I've seen people go from California for a 5 day event then to DC for 3 more days. Some people absolutely love that lifestyle but it wasn't for me. In the department that I worked in you needed little to no experience but in the others they wanted several years of hotel or tradeshow experience. I never saw anyone hired into the planning aspect without some sort of hotel background. The company I worked for has been around for 30+ years and just keeps growing. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
