[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 100415, member: 430"] Re: Who's In Demand Max, You're missing some important positions for a shop large enough to have all of the above specialties. There are LDs, riggers, loaders, rf techs, stage manager, TD, show director, video people, shop foreman, bench repair techs, fabricators, guys who do CAD, drivers, designers, purchasing, accounting, etc. Among the jobs listed IEM monitor engineer is the one that takes the most skill, in my opinion. And I say that as someone who prefers system tech work. System tech work is about physics. If you understand the physics of wave propagation, transducers, and signal processing, as well as the physics of measurement, then you'll have the skills to wrangle the PA. Lacking those skills makes system tech work seem daunting, but most technically minded people can learn the physics with effort. Guys that can wrangle a dozen plus quality ear mixes with often very different requirements, that's a totally different ballgame. I think one almost needs an innate knack for it. [/QUOTE]
