I placed my vote on the education option, however I also do some well-paid freelance work in both sound and lighting. Wouldn't trade what I do for anything!

I am a part time tech at my high school. And i love every moment of it! i have been doing things technical sence i was arond 8 when i got to touch a mixing board, and thats what got me hooked! I cant wait until i can get back to the theatre! There are no renters during the summer, and that means no pay for me! OR FUN!

Been doing this since 6th grade, now I'm a freshman in college. I wanna have a career in live sound, and am headed to school to learn the more technical side (you can never learn how to mix a show in a classroom. How the gear works on the other hand...). Been using CB for just over two years, and have gotten quite a few good ideas from it.

So, thanks guys, gotten lots of good advice from you.

I am in High school,

The oppurtunities that are open are school functions so, no paycheck for me.

There are rare occasions when there is a paying job, like when some non-school related group rents the facility.

I fall into 3 catagories
-I donate my time to my church for sound.
-I will be attending a theatre program in college this fall
-I work part time at a local venue.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I've been in the biz professionally for 33 years, 43 years if you count my amature experience.

I toured with bus and truck shows from Broadway and Rock n Roll from the early 70's into the late 80's. After that I got off the road and concentrated on sales, rentals, design and installations.

We are currently shipping a new church sound system to North Carolina, a distributed sound system to a new office building in Dallas, Texas and will be installing a new Boardroom sound system locally next week. Tomorrow we have two rental sound systems going out for local events as well.

I've got some catching up to do on BillESC but I've been knocking around in the industry for 19 years (and dont that make me feel old!!) Currently commissioning a new automation system in China, then back to Malasia for some maintenance work on their Automation system, then onto Qatar for the automation installation for the Asian Games - should be fun - same mod who did the commonwealth games - except its out in the middle of some middle eastern desert. Cant have everything.
