Hello!

I am interested in pursuing a career in music. I am a guitar player and have been for 19 years. However the possibility of me actually becoming sucessful is pretty slim. So I was thinking how can I still be involved in music and have a steady paycheck? Audio Engineer! So thats why Im here. I wanted to ask someone who knows and has been there done that. Is there good money? Is it difficult to get started? Do I need a degree? I recently was on a website Audio Recording Technology Institute website. They are a nationally acredited school specifically designed for what I am looking for. Thing is its pretty expensive. Tuition is just under 19 grand! Do you have any advice? Its a pretty scary thing if Im gonna borrow that kind of money. They school claims they will place you in a job and the average salary is approximatley 38 grand anually. Is that true? Any advice you can give will be a big help thanks!

Hi,

1. you'll need friends or contacts in rec. business
2. you'll need more friends and contacts

No one cares if you record or mix great. You need credits.

Hope this helps Smile
