Sound Engineering as a Career Option

One of my friends who is making great inroads as far as career in sound engineering is concerned, once told me, "Perseverance is the key thing in this career". Many a time getting a foot in the door as far as a career in audio engineering is concerned, becomes the mainstay of your career going forward; atleast for those who aspire to make it big as an independent in this field. Not that a degree in sound engineering from one of the "audio colleges" is in anyway bad, but it is rare that you find someone who has a degree to be any better than someone with no "audio degree" who had drive and desire, some music background and who buried themselves interning in a good commercial studio for a couple of months. But interning at a commercial studio doesnt mean idling around your time reading some magazines. Instead it requires one to be proactive always. Treat the studio, as not simply a job but as your own business - infact it is your own business !!!

I will keep updating this section with more information as far as a career in audio engineering is concerned, based on the inputs I get from people who have made it big in this industry.

Diversified Careers

I know its been long since i have written something on my blog. I was a bit held up with certain matters which required my 100% attention. But here I am, back again with more tips on fine tuning your career in the right direction. Again, not that I am an any kind of expert in this area. But since I have been associating with individuals from diversified professional backgrounds and have come to know of various avenues one could pursue as far as a career is concerned, thought it is my moral responsibility to plug in whatever I know, that might be helpful to atleast a handful of you.

Today I am here to discuss about potential career opportunities in the field of Physics. My uncle was a physics genius to tell you the least. He used to always motivate me to take up a career in Physics. But unfortunately, I really didnt have the resources at that juncture to know more about the opportunities that a physics education would present to me. Well times have changed, and there are quite a handful opportunities that one has if you have the right kind of education in the field of Physics.

Physics (Greek: physis – φύσις meaning "nature") is the natural science which examines basic concepts such as mass, charge, matter and its motion and all that derives from these, such as energy, force, and spacetime. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the world and universe behave. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics).

Physicists are the most fundamental of scientists, for they examine the basic laws of nature. They seek to study and understand what happens when atoms and subatomic particles break down and assemble, how they react to collisions with each other and to electro-magnetic radiation. Physicists use mathematics to understand, explain and predict their theories and equations. They often apply their predictions and theories to other fields - chemistry, biology, geophysics, engineering, communication, transportation, electronics and health.

A physicist can be either an experimentalist or a theoretician. Almost all have doctorates, essential for college and university teaching and research, upper level research positions in government and industry, and higher administrative positions. Those with bachelors degrees may work in applied research and development as research assistants or in design, administration or engineering. Some specialized areas include: biophysics, health/medical physics, nuclear physics, optical physics, fluid physics and plasma physics.

Below is a sample of occupations related to a physicist.

Acoustical Physicist
Geophysicist

Research and Development departments
Educational institutions
Scientific journals
Electrical equipment companies
Technical consulting firms
Engineering firms
Testing labs
Health care facilities
