Hey guys!
So I was wondering how many of you on here are still in the industry? Be it corporate AV, theatre or rock n roll kinda stuff. Do you do it full time meaning that it's your bread a butter, or on the side (I know some people who have day jobs but work at night in the arts as directors/actors/designers and some occasionally as techs etc)
And if you left why? If you haven't, what kept you going, how do you deal with all the negatives that come with the job?
I'm curious to see why , I myself am a sorta fresh grad (been in the game professionally for a year and did crewing for a job before and throughout uni) had been contemplating leaving due to personal financial reasons and also cause I felt like I never fit in properly and the hours had gotten to me (the time away from friends/family, consistently missing big life events took a toll on my emotional state). The work-life balance thing was also a big factor. But part of me felt live I've come so far and was lucky to have pretty sweet gigs for a fresh grad so why back out now.
