Line Producer - this is possibly the hardest job in movies, but it can be fun as well. It's not to be confused with other producorial positions, as this job is all about keeping a film rolling. It is a heavy-duty problem solving position that requires knowledge of all aspects of filmmaking.
You can't just start off as a line producer, you'll have to be a set PA (Production Assistant) first and work your way up to this position over several years.
Art Department PA is an awesome entry level position. It's all about painting, building and dressing sets. Horrible hours and pay, but great experience. Once you land an on-set job, you should be able to get more and more...but that first one can be tricky.
Assistant Director is another high-stress, problem solving gig that can be fun. The AD has to get talent on the set, make the cast and crew call sheets for each day and generally know where everyone is at all times.
