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.
