New (student) Sound Engineer

Hello, I'm a would-be sound engineer currently on a slightly-wrong HNC course in Music Tech in London. I have approximately no theatre contacts outside of one friend who is training to be a theatre manager and am cripplingly shy in real life. My course tutors keep telling me "social skills" are a big part of getting ahead in the industry which is a bit despiriting.
 
Hello and welcome to ControlBooth! Yes, being shy can be a detriment; however I think that the main thing initially is to learn as much as possible, whenever possible. Just don't be afraid to ask questions! At all! I don't know how many times I bugged my bosses with questions, but it ensured that I got the job done their way, which was right, and showed my eagerness to learn.
Again, welcome!
