Re: Career in audio a worthwhile endeavor?There's a pretty broad range of options available for 'live sound' and with the right one, you can make a respectable career out of it. Eg, finding a venue such as a hotel or conference center that needs an AV technician is doing live sound, and it would be regular work. Finding a production company that can provide you work is another avenue. Not necessarily as regular of a schedule, and would mean more traveling, but it could be a lot of fun.And then there's the step of starting your own production company and buying a bunch of gear and then struggling each and every day to scrape up enough cash to keep feeding the pig. Yeah, that takes a whole different breed to make happen. Most people get in and lose a bunch of money, destroy the market and get out. Good times to be had there.
