do everything we are saying. Work on that portfolio!

A good portfolio is gonna get you hired over your degree.

Then go to a fucking club

Sound is sound

Or are you planning to be a foli artist

Were being harsh on you because we are being honest. This is not a field that you can sit back and relax in.

Go to a club, do for a band

Stupid shit like that. Again I know people I'm the field

That's how they got in

Speak to the backstage guys at concerts and ask to help out

Show you know how to rig the tech

They will give you a chance

What Crappy is saying.. is intern it up.

Better yet, call a company that does it and ask if your degree would get you a job with no experience

^^

And pretty much @Kragt but you have an advantage cause being a gofer sucks

So offer to do it and ask to do more

Chat to the tech on the board

I pointed him to the TFM vid about that, but I know he hasn't had time yet.
But you start at the job you want and work backwards from the requirements.
You dont start at the degree and ask what can I do with this? You start at the job and say what do I need to do to get this?

Shit like that is your way. A degree is great but in this case it's the cherry, not the ice-cream

Pretty much, though it depends on the kind of field

@Kragt I wish someone had told me that at 20

I agree, better yet I wish I'd gotten the slap at 16

@Reaper Same. I didn't hear it till last year when TFM said it. XD

well when I heard him say it.

Ok start there.

Then take my advice to the T mate

Look at job postings, ask people who do it right now. See what you need to do to get to their job.

Plus if you mix you will learn way fucking faster. Also bands tend to bring their guy with them, be their guy

@Kragt I heard that as well I figured it out a few years before that but I had already wasted lots of moola on school I didn't need

@Reaper Yikes... Thankfully my career choice works with the schooling I got, but man it was a rough ride.

@Kragt yea I'm in a totally different field now but I'm finally out of debt so it could be worse

@Reaper Good on you for that bit. Debt is a bitch and a half.

Seriously

@Kragt luckily I never intended on getting Married cause no doubt wifey would not have been down with me switching careers

debt takes a hold on you, until you realise the traps

Ah... the edit helped a bit.

Lol sorry

Fucking mobile

S'all good. And yeah. Women want you to make more money first, and maybe have more status as a second. Your needs are nowhere on that list. XD

i quit multiple jobs with my ex and told her mother "I aint no slave".
