Oooh, oooh...

What about deep sea diver?

Or here's something really radical..



...the music business :eek:

[twisted_trinity]

yeah but the music business is huge....i thinking of job options within the music industry, yeah i'd love to just get given a contract, but thats not very likely to happen.

I was just wondering what exactly i'd be qualifyed to do.

[Man Of Kent]

I know, I was just being facetous.

Why not look into producing or sound engineer work, being a session player (if you don't want to put your name to anything) - why not start contacting studios (TV and music/radio) to get some work expereince?

[Olive]

sound engineering is REALLY competitive atm.

i imagine you'd needs loads of work experience (mostly upaid) and/or a degree/HND/industry qualification in a related subject to be on an evil keel with the rest of the peeps.

another idea is starting off as a tea girl, and worming your way up.

[Man Of Kent]

worming your way up.

I would usually advocate working your way up, but I like this idea too ... :p

you've never met a sound engineer, have you?

;)

[Man Of Kent]

you've never met a sound engineer, have you?

;)

Nah, but I guess it fits with the whole showbiz/arty lifestyle :yes:

[Olive]

Nah, but I guess it fits with the whole showbiz/arty lifestyle :yes:

worming is the perfect word for it ;)

depending what kind of work you do though, it's not that showbiz. they work their butts off, long, antisocial hours, live out of suitcases a lot.

i don't know about studio work though....

[twisted_trinity]

i've been told that i could get a job at the bbc because one of my mum's friends is an executive....so i might just look down that aisle of intrest....

[twisted_trinity]

grade 5 is all you need to be able to teach.

[Acrobat]

grade 5 is all you need to be able to teach.

There is another suggestion for you. Music teaching.

[twisted_trinity]

hahahaha....ummmm i honestly don't think i'd last more than 2 minutes....
