That's very common. I know a lot of people that went to
school for audio engineering/recording and then got out
and either couldn't find a decent job or realized that
they would be recording jingles, training & marketing
videos, etc. not the next grammy-winner and ended up in
this industry.
yeah I mean I was working at THE studio in NYC and working with major artists, assisting and stuff but it just got to the point where I felt like I was working on an assembly line. Plus working 36-48 hours straight with no sleep at times for like $5 an hour soured me. That and the owner's kids who took over and ran it were spoiled brats that treated all of us like $hit. Burnt me out and turned me off to anything audio related at the time and headed in a totally different direction. A bit of regret now some 17 yrs later.
