How does one work for prince estate?

This might come to most as a dumb question.. but I am a young adult, and I am very much interested in working for the prince estate or being involved at some point.. I know there are many on here involved with the business, or ATLEAST know about the business.. so my question is, how does one get into that world? How does one get into that business ?

You move to Chanhassen and watch the job listings.
The only jobs are at Paisley Park (tours, housekeeping, etc) but the current director started out as a tour guide.

The estate does not hire; they are a consortium of Comerica management and arguments between various attorneys.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

When the job for chief archivist (not music archivist, by the way) was posted, I was interested. The job would have been perfect for me. But as I live near Detroit, Michigan, it was not feasible.

I jokingly asked my wife "want to move to Minneapolis?".

The money for the tour guide role isn't huge and mpls is relatively expensive so you'd need to be sure you could look after yourself before the big move, it's quite far out so you'd hopefully have a car

Apply for a role perhaps? How are your coffee making skills?
