In freelance video there are a few negatives that usually revolve around the difficulty’s finding reliable work. 6. What is your job role & title? My job title is Station Specialist. In my job I deal with all aspects of the video world. I work productions on positions ranging from camera operator to technical director. I also work in Master Control keeping our channel, WBCC, on the air. 7. Out of the college training that you had to go through, what was the most useful and what was the least useful skills/classes/etc. that you were required to accomplish? I feel every college course I took helped get me to where I am today. The most important thing I accomplished to get me where am I today was interning and volunteering. This is what gave me most of my hands on experience and the skills to be confident in my job. 8. What is your weekely salary a week? A year? Salary’s in this profession have a pretty wide range.

Are you required to continue training/progressing in your education to remain competitive and capable to do your job? If so, what sort of continual training is required? I am not required to continue my education in my job, but I do continue to train and go to school to make sure I stay up to date in an ever changing market. 11. Do you find your field in high demand (competitive), not enough well qualified persons, or are their too many people within your field? There is definitely a high demand for videographers. However, with video equipment becoming cheaper and more accessible, the experience needed for a videographer does seem to be changing. 12. If you could go back to college and re-do your career choice, would you? Why? I would not, I am very happy with my chosen field. It is something I have always enjoyed doing, and to enjoy your line of work is key being happy. Yes, there are plenty of opportunities for women, and nothing in this field that a woman would be unable to do that a man can. I work from 8-5 Monday – Thursday for my full time job. This is subject to change depending on the times of productions. What I like best is that I’m doing something that I enjoy. = Works Cited: =
