What do you want to do? There's this idea that "you must go to school" and if you're doing something goofy like mixing sound, nobody gives a fuck about school.

Let's be honest - if you're trying to make a living mixing sound, the sooner you start doing it the better. Berklee or Art Institute or any of those fucks know zilch. I mean, San Jose State posted something to my union the other day - they're looking for a tenure track professor to teach sound design to undergrads. Know what they require? An MFA in sound design. Know what they don't require?

Work experience.
