Disregard the 1/11/2011 comment. Job do exist in this industry. You have to, ya know, do something about it. Do yourself a favor and seriously consider coming to this school if you are serious about audio engineering. The knowledge you will obtain from the instructors here is invaluable.

Do yourself a favor! Research the job market for jobs in this field!! They are non existing! Unless you are going to be a wanna be rapper poser or record your own band or music. Save your money or your parents money and go get some hands on experience at a studio or whatever if you can find it. OH by the way hope you like being a SLAVE!!!
