I know I'm sort of pidgeon-holing myself but everyone's gotta have a dream, right?Just got me thinking about how cool it would be to have the qualifications and level of experience and knowledge required to be eligible for, let alone awesome at such a job. By the time I'm out of uni I'll have spent five years studying and for someone in their third year, I really wish I had more to show for it than the limited experience with recording and software that I have. It doesn't help that I find it incredibly hard to motivate myself no matter what I do or tell myself, and all the things I think I'd like to do (take up an instrument again, buy pro tools for my home computer) require money, which I have nil of.
Sometimes I wonder if sound is the right thing for me, but I don't see myself doing anything else. I adore computers but I hate the idea of spending my life in a sea of office cubicles troubleshooting networks and junk like that. I think I spend way too much time thinking about this stuff (and everything else
) but my main focus is to soak up everything I learn like a sponge and hope that one day I can be confident in my field. I think I'll be fine once that happens.
