Hey sleepytom i dont know where you live but here its really posible to get able to live by vj'ing....Well vj'ing is no the good term ! Here in Montréal there full of compagny that offer visual for Musical and artistic things but there is a big "Corporative" Side ! most of the money you get from visual is things like creating a visual concept for a Buisness for some convention and things !!!
And a dont give a shit about doing something that will pay me more ! I think you fell better if you wake up every and you love your job ! I have a pasion and i want to make this passion my living ! Small apartement or big house i dont give a !

And by the way I dont concider myself CANADIAN in fact here in Québec most of people or "Separatiste" It mean that we would like Québec as a Country cause we a re wayyyyy more diferent specialy in the culture side whit the english canadian !

Merci de votre aide !
Thank you for your help !

I can certainly say that Molson is much better, and stronger, than the PBR.. And PBR(for some insane reason) seems to be all the rage these days well at least amongst the snowboarders.....

well if you want to work in corporate AV then there is no point going to college. Phone up the companies in Montreal that do AV and see if any of them will take you on work experience. Spend a year in the warehouse fixing cables and polishing plasmas and you'll learn everything you need to know to be a corporate AV tech.

Having a degree will not give you any advantage when it comes to getting AV tech work. Most people who are working as AV techs have no qualifications (umm nobody offers a degree in pushing next slide on a powerpoint). Instead most of us have been though the same kind of apprenticeship type thing where you start off cleaning and carrying stuff and eventually work your way up to the heady heights of vision mixer or whatever.

Really I would go to college and study something that you find interesting that is not directly related to visuals. You will be better off as an AV tech with a history degree than as an AV tech with a diploma in post production. Study a subject which you find interesting to expand your mind, while you study get some part time work from an AV company, or do Local Crew work (get in touch with your local iatse branch www.iatse-intl.org to find out about local crew work).

whatever qualifications you aim toward remember that most people who work in AV and Broadcasting have no relevant qualifications in these subjects. Get yourself a well rounded education that leaves options open for you, your far less likely to regret getting a proper degree in a real subject than spending the same time on a post production course which will not really help get you a job.

Hey go here to get an idea what is out there.

As far as doing A/V tech work, you should be doing that right now.
Most high schools have AV depts. and if you are not doing this, get involved with it.
Also, one of the best AV tech in Montreal is a VJ on this forum. Give Many2 a shout, maybe he might just take you in under his wing...
