Re: What Education to Prepare for Industry Employment?
by Mike Cohen on Mar 29, 2008 at 12:45:47 pm

I base my ideal candidate based upon my own experience - at least an associate's degree in something. Does not have to be productions. If someone does not have the theory, some technical skills and the aptitude to learn you will know pretty quickly.

Given that technology changes so rapidly, he should not put all his eggs into one basket - that is, don't become a FCP expert, as others have said. An entry level job may be duping tapes, digitizing or cutting news stories - not creating hour long documentaries.

In my opinion, the important take away from any college experience is the non-technical training, such as liberal arts, science, business classes. These classes turn a 18 year old high school hot shot into a 20 year old with some professional aptitude.

Sure there are plenty of people without a degree who are well rounded people, but this is my opinion.

I did 4 internships during college, all of which were invaluable.

Mike
