Hi,
I am currently just a junior in high school, but i have already determined that i am interested in either entering film or television as a career, and I am devoting a lot of time to learning as much as possible. I luckily managed to land a gig editing for a local event video studio editing. The pay isn't great but hey, it's a start. Everyone tells me, "Go into television, everyone in film ends up broke off their @$$." I mean, I think I would like television, but film just seems to have a certain allure." I am wondering if anyone has advice on schools that are reasonable to get into, and how to get started in the industry? Is it possible for a 17 year old to get work as a gofer even just to learn? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Jason
