Hey,
I’ve been messing around with recording for a few years now, and I’ve really grown fond of it. I’d really like to learn the art or recording, and try to make a career out of it. There seems to be a lot of smart and educated people in the industry here, so maybe you can help. I am currently computer engineering major, just finishing up my second year. Here are some questions I have…
Should I consider changing majors, maybe to a broadcasting degree? Will I learn more in schooling than I will on my own? Do studios require you to have a degree to work there?
Anyone attend any of those 3-month or so seminars various institutions offer? They seem to be attractive offers, but some are incredibly expensive, upwards of 5-grand. Money is not really an issue (that’s what student loans are for, yuck) but I can’t afford to waste it. I am spending a lot on my current education, and will spend what I need to.
Is it possible to volunteer/internship at a studio? Anyone here ever done that? Anyone own a studio in northern Ohio that would do that? I am getting a little ahead of myself, but I just need to find a way to get more involved.
How did some of you begin your careers in the industry? And the final important question, what is an average salary? I don't expect to make a ton of cash, I'm not even really interested in that (for now!) I just want to be able to support my family, I don't want to be broke for ten years until I get a break.
Anything you guys can offer me will help me in my pursuit! Thanks for reading this!!!
