Re: Career in audio a worthwhile endeavor?
I've been on both sides, as have some others here. I'll preface this by saying I have never and would never take advantage of such scenarios, but frankly I have been amazed at how many girls/women seem to be interested in anybody connected to the band, regardless of whether they are an official band member or not. This may just be coincidence, but in my experience, the country music shows are always the worst for this - particularly in terms of inappropriate stuff from drunks hanging around after the show. Pretty sad when you really think about it, and usually very annoying too. I rarely do these types of shows anymore, good riddance.
A word of advice to the OP. Regardless of what side of the stage you are on, if you are looking for a girl, do not look for one at your gig. Soooo many reasons why this is a bad idea that you could write a whole book about it.
Sorry for the topic swerve.
Back on topic, think long and hard about what Justice wrote. Regardless of whether you choose to do audio or not, have an education that gives you a viable back-up plan.
