yeah this is I guess what I suspected to be the case really - and the reason I have probably never done it so far. It takes a certain kind of enthusiasm to start off getting paid nothing to make tea!micah frank wrote:.. I think their ambition was more of a factor than the school experience. I got a really good studio job immediately because of some connections I had, not the school.
I have just never had that kind of determination for audio engineering as a career in the past because I was a musician first and foremost and it was always more or less just a way of paying the bills.
that's a shame - that's one of the things I wanted to hear about - although LM has done a pretty good job there!micah frank wrote: Teaching there is another story and one that I'd prefer not to get into
yeah I'm not really sure that's what I want from it though - especially these days I could imagine running your own studio to be a recipe for disaster financially. For me I think it was more about trying to get into something like sound design for feature films or games - I just don't have enough of a background in that area to be considered for those kind of jobs.micah frank wrote:I agree that taking the money and putting it elsewhere (like in a biz plan) would be a wise move. It seems like you already have more experience than the school could realistically offer you.
