My Present Career in the Show Production Business

Being a graduate from Full Sail University's Show Production and Touring Bachelor Degree Program, During my two years in my Show Production major, I focused on learning live event production, audio and lighting systems, audio visual technologies, and concert media design. The education that I acquired through Full Sail's Show Production and Touring Bachelor's Degree Program was the right combination of all the possible careers in the live event production and AV community. Ranging from the interworking of a loud speaker to the setup and turning of a home theater system, I definitely was educated on all possible levels of this career path. More information about Full Sail's Show Production Degree can be found at http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/show-production-bachelors. During my studies, I myself mostly focused on specializing in audio engineering. When I graduated from Full Sail with my Show Production degree, I wanted to find a job in the audio industry. After working with career development for a little while after my graduation,  my main goal was to work for Clair Brothers Audio Systems. However, with plans of completing my master's degree in the near future, Clair Brothers was not the right career choice for me at the moment. Because of that, one can say that I am still currently in between areas of my career at the moment. I am first and foremost an audio engineer, however for the last five months I have also been a video engineer.  I got in touch with a company out of Orlando called Technomedia Solutions. Technomedia Solutions is one of the leading companies in audiovisual design. At technomedia solutions, I was hired a contracted AV installationer/video engineer. My job for Technomedia involves the installation of the video walls in all of the Hollister Company stores around the world. Technomedia Solutions is also responsible for the AV instillation in these stores. My main jobs for this company are located internationally, which to some may seem exhausting, but to me is extremely exciting and eye opening. Traveling almost non stop allows me to not only see the world, but also allows me to network with a wide variety of people while still completing my master's degree online. My company always makes sure to set me up with hotels internationally that can offer me wifi so that I can complete my school work, which I am extremely thankful for. More information about other work that Technomedia does can be found at their website http://www.gotechnomedia.com/. Working for Technomedia Solutions is a job that I never really predicted myself as having. For my entire life I've always wanted to work in the live production industry. I wanted to see myself working along side of a stage doing the audio and video work for bands on tour while I was employed at a venue. In my eyes, my current career path is just an example of how many jobs are out there that people may not even consider. My best advice to those who read this is to never close any doors, and to always look for a new opportunity. Just because your first goal doesn't happen right away, doesn't mean there isn't something better waiting for you.
