CBProductions Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Im working in the audio visual feild at the moment and I am heading to uni in london in april, and then after studying a film degree I will be doing a degree or a diploma in recording arts and get a job with the bbc or some media company. I had no idea what I wanted to do like yourself and I just one day realised that something I was doing I really loved and went for it which then lead me onto other things which I like. SO most important that you go for something you will not get bored of and be happy in rather than doing it for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Going for diploma in Health and Safety. Although I intended on the army (IT and Comms), but due to my chest, I am unable to join for a while.Ideally, I'd love to start my own business, but thinking of something unique is very difficult and I don't have any good skills...you know, ninja skills, hunting skills, computer hacking skills...

Davey Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm an Account Executive for a print management company, which basically means I buy and sell print for publishers (magazines, brochures, posters, flyers etc). Doesn't sound exciting but it's pretty interesting really and brings in a very decend wage, especially for someone who doesn't have anything more that a few GCSE's!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 You need as many or as little as you want.I mean having stuff like electronics , physics and that helps but its not stuff that can't be learnt in the job. I have just learnt my stuff as Ive gone along and specialised abit. It's more stuff like live video screens and stuff rather than making films and I also spend time in the local rock club doing live bands which I only started doing recently.

Smo™ Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm heading off to study Geology at Portsmouth Uni in October - hoping to branch off towards Petrology (looking for Oil) in my second or third year. Companies like BP and Esso are hiring Petrology graduates straight out of Portsmouth Uni and putting them in the US and New Zealand so it's my best ticket out of the country - plus Petrologists are in real high demand right now so it's a potential big earner too. Now all I need is the motivation and self discipline to actually do the work required for my degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-Stop Junkie Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I know this sounds obvious, but you need to work out an end point. What do you currently do which you enjoy? What would you like to make a career out of? No need to be specific, but say you enjoy physics at school, then you can look into your options in that area - medical physics, engineering physics, pure physics - both in terms of future study and eventual work. Remember though, you don't need to be specific at your point in life, you just need an area to focus on, and you'll find out more about your options as you progress.If you decide though that you want to do something more vocational, then it can be more advantageous to start working as soon as possible, and build up experience. To learn website design at uni is great, but some people will argue when you try to get work that someone with a degree will be in a worse position than someone who has a dozen live websites already running.Also, don't make assumptions about future jobs. It may look glamorous to be a video guy, working at big concerts or whatever, but I'm sure other people will tell you that for 1 hour of glamour there are months of deadlines, hard work, late nights and competition for jobs in a market with more applicants than jobs.Some people are lucky that they fall into jobs that give them satisfaction, other people focus on careers early and work through a field of interest, realise they've made a mistake and retrain. Ultimately, find something in life that gives you some satisfaction, and be prepared to do some crap work initally to build upto better stuff later on...
