What about freelance work? You mentioned that is what you are doing right now. How do you build a solid reputation (might not be the right word) to have the work coming in? Any advice for a newbie on how to get freelance work?

Is it essential to get a degree in order to work in the industry?

Right on! I will definitely take your advice about talking to bar managers/engineers. Thanks for answering my questions!

Understaffed? Wow, never would have guessed that. From what you have been saying it sounds like live venues are a good place to try to get some work but not recording studios. Any other jobs in the music industry that you think are understaffed?
