<p>I'm curious about what you want to get out of film school education? What is your vision of life after film school. For many, it's a life without a steady job. For some careers, you are not usually an "employee," but if you are successful, it's a year-end collection of 1099's. Or perhaps you have another, unique vision of what you'll be doing career-wise. What do you envision for yourself?</p>
<p>I’m majoring in television, not film, but it’s a similar battle. Of course, if I choose to I could just stick with one small market station or news station and work my way up, but I plan to move around some in jobs and just do whatever I can find. I’m sure my first job will probably be some kind of assistant job, or part-time job. Maybe even freelancing. I’ll just have to see :)</p>
<p>TV is different from film jobs in that you are more likely to be employed in a full-time job. What area are you majoring in? Production? Management?</p>
<p>This spring I graduate with a B.A. in Multimedia with a concentration in Video Production. Plan to go to a top graduate film school. Plan to Enter film festivals while in graduate school to gain recognition and also find a job or paying internship at a production company (focus features, Samuel Goldwyn, IFC, dream works, warner bros, THINKfilm) , learn the ropes, and start my own business after a few years.</p>
<p>I think if my emphasis is something technical like editing or cinematography, I won’t have an issue finding a job. For instance, local news stations are always looking for editors. Editors get paid well and universities are always hiring tech savvy grads.</p>
