where to work?

Starfox

Hey Folks,

Need some advise here on where to get work. Providing everything goes to plan and i get through college i will have studied sound engineering & music tech and i will need to find some work. (i really do plan everything out :P )

My plan was and i still intent to follow it, is to find a day job somewhere as a sound engineer and for now anyway i dont really care where i have allot of motivation and am willing to go where ever, until i find out what i really want to do :P

To give you an idea of the kinda guy i am, im nuts about Trance, electronica music and that kind of scene in general, and have my own decks mix away and produce my own stuff, its more of a hobby...for now anyway, maybe a night job

So any ideas?

Hi Swatwolf.

As you probably can sense from reading around here there isn't a huge amount of work going around.

It's all about experience, after you complete your studies perhaps look for an internship and rack those hours up.

Getting a job straight out of college is increasingly unlikely.

Best of Luck.

Yes Paul you are indeed correct. It takes allot of hard push and pull to get started.

Well keep the positivity, obsess yourself with learning (besides the stuff they tech you in college) and keep focused.

And don't listen to gloom stories. It's still possible and if you believe you can do it, then you probably can.

Be enthusiastic, hard working, and free. Ring up venues and PA companys and work for nothing and if seem like you have half a brain someone might employ you.
The old "Start making the tea" stuff may seem a bit hackneyed but works but it all depends on you. People get 100s of guys wanting a start so you have to set yourself apart from the herd.
You dont really have anything to lose so go for it.
