not as many folks in the live end of the entertainment industry responding this time around, so here's me:

current: BFA student in Tech Production (building theatrical scenery) minoring in sound design, and the assistant tech director for the Huntington theater on their current show, and next year I'll be a TA for the welding/general metalworking class and the freshman shop classes for the BU theater department

previous: scenic carpenter for various summer events or theaters, sound technician for a wide range of shows (dinky highschool stuff to massive **** at Rockefeller Center), a little lighting tech work related to the above two, and roofer.

future (when I graduate): marines? (still deciding on that one), might start an indoor rock gym with some friends, some part time bike shop work this summer, I'm also interested in marine salvage/underwater welding and cutting work (need to get scuba experience and certs) and commercial construction and structural welding, but I have no idea how to get into either of those from where I am.

using your degree in it's intended field, or at all, is overrated.
