    I'd start with a law degree with an emphasis on entertainment law -

    If you want to be a booking agent and not a talent agent it's a whole different thing.

    Which is your interest?

    Hi, Marcus!

    Do you already have a college degree? If so, what's it in, please?

    I would suggest taking things one step at a time.

    Thanks!
