I've been taught that as well, always have a fallback in the music industry
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki what you dont seem to understand is that Most STEM like Archiutectural engineering is different in level of competence compared to something in the gaming industry
That's why I'm building connections so if I don't have work I can contact one so I can be a sound engineer at a gig or tour with bands
not many schools for gaming industry with music
Stuff that I've done previously
I get that
its a far more competitive and difficult thing to succeed in gaming
I agree
My issue is saying going for a degree without entering with *mastery* beforehand is ending in failure
Extremely difficult
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Look at these guys who do amazing work for community mods like Skyrim, and are still not even in the industry.
And they cant get in without an industry job/degree
todd howard did
I disagree with the mastery point, but I agree with the industry/degree part
or didnt he
And also. Most gaming music isnt internal. They are brought in for the projects from other companies
Yep
There's a lot of sound designers who are freelance
old days used to be simpler
Same companies grabbed for tv, movies, games, cartoons and such
It's large but I don't think it's the largest
idk about that. It generates the most revenue
I know that it's currently beating the TV industry
Definitely not the largest
Depends if you count low budget indy
it's not all that big
assuming that this is correct: https://www.selectusa.gov/media-entertainment-industry-united-states
Vidya games only account for ~3% of the media and entertainment industry
Hm I see, thanks for clarifying that
I briefly glanced over it on reddit so I should have looked into it instead of assuming, that's my fault there
If you want to make money while you educate yourself, get a somewhat similar trade skill, like an electrician. Lots of old folks are retiring out of that and there's a shortage of workers.
You can only make so much at Starbucks lol
Oh thanks for the advice, didn't even consider that
I'm not sure if I'd have the spare time to be taught to be an electrician
Used to work at B&Q though, had a really good understanding of lightbulbs but that's about it
🤷🏼
🤷🏻
If you want to be succesful make sure your parttime job is something in the direction of something you wanna do when you are older
working at macdonalds will make it very difficult to get up any further you gotta make connections in the industry right the fck away
I've applied to a multitude of jobs, mostly those in the music area of things however I haven't heard back from any of them yet. I've recently sent out another seven so if I don't receive any kind of notice within a week I'll send out a few more to different areas
