Give up

2019-01-11 20:34:09 UTC  

Like being a roady for music shows

2019-01-11 20:34:16 UTC  

TOUGH SHIT

2019-01-11 20:34:27 UTC  

Do you want to be a sound engineer or not

2019-01-11 20:34:39 UTC  

Cause nobody, and I mean nobody is gonna just hire you

2019-01-11 20:34:45 UTC  

You need experience and friends

2019-01-11 20:34:56 UTC  

If you had friends you wouldn't be asking

2019-01-11 20:35:02 UTC  

So ehat

2019-01-11 20:35:11 UTC  

Go to the lame fucking club and gofer

2019-01-11 20:35:22 UTC  

Set shit up

2019-01-11 20:35:31 UTC  

Go to a theatre and ask if they need help

2019-01-11 20:35:56 UTC  

What skills

2019-01-11 20:36:20 UTC  

Audio engineering

2019-01-11 20:36:27 UTC  

Or sound engineering

2019-01-11 20:36:29 UTC  

If you go to shittier venues they may take you

2019-01-11 20:36:33 UTC  

You run events and mix sounds

2019-01-11 20:36:39 UTC  

Don't be a lil bitch

2019-01-11 20:36:45 UTC  

Cause that's what you see doing

2019-01-11 20:37:14 UTC  

And I am speaking from experience, I have known a few guys in the field

2019-01-11 20:37:15 UTC  

@Gabri yeah just ask them what equipment they use act like you know what your doing then look up tutorials on the system

2019-01-11 20:37:28 UTC  

Not finishing school yet? Great you got even more time to network. Start now! Build a portfolio, start working.
No friends... that is literally what the clubs are for. Go there, buy a beer for the guys and start asking to talk shop.
Work on those skills that you will be hired for. Start practicing and learning. If you can't do shit you better have just started this semester. In which case you better be learning.

2019-01-11 20:37:42 UTC  

If you dont like the advice being given, you really need to change fields.

2019-01-11 20:38:07 UTC  

Great

2019-01-11 20:38:10 UTC  

He's right it is totally a connection based industry

2019-01-11 20:38:15 UTC  

And you think a recording studio is going to hire some kid that hasn't done shit?

2019-01-11 20:38:20 UTC  

do everything we are saying. Work on that portfolio!

2019-01-11 20:38:37 UTC  

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

2019-01-11 20:38:46 UTC  

Then go to a fucking club

2019-01-11 20:38:50 UTC  

Sound is sound

2019-01-11 20:39:05 UTC  

Or are you planning to be a foli artist

2019-01-11 20:39:21 UTC  

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

2019-01-11 20:39:27 UTC  

Go to a club, do for a band

2019-01-11 20:39:43 UTC  

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

2019-01-11 20:39:47 UTC  

That's how they got in

2019-01-11 20:40:11 UTC  

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

2019-01-11 20:40:19 UTC  

Show you know how to rig the tech

2019-01-11 20:40:25 UTC  

They will give you a chance

2019-01-11 20:40:40 UTC  

What Crappy is saying.. is intern it up.

2019-01-11 20:41:31 UTC  

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

2019-01-11 20:41:52 UTC  

^^

2019-01-11 20:41:56 UTC  

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