I interned in broadcast television while I was in college and man, what I learned was to stay the fuck away. Like 10-12 hour days driving all over getting stories, and everyone is paid absolute dick. I was interning for AV production, and the dude with me had done that job for like 25-30 years, and was making less than $15 an hour. The sterile processing tech job I had at the hospital that required a GED, paid more than they made, and I had better benefits. The straight up told me, damn dude if you’re working in that hospital, stay there that’s way better.
i know a guy who used to do camera and production work for a big city tv news department. was pretty good–real good, loved the work–and the perks. hasn’t worked that in at least 6-7 years now. made more money dashing.
