So "the biz" is something I sort of just fell into about six months ago... I actually was in college for psychology and had taken some time off to pursue a career in Carpentry. During that period of time I was offered a front of house job for a Haunted House in New York.
While working front of house I got promoted to stage manager, which I was told I would be really good at and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I also did some TD work for the house and have done a very small amount of ATD work since then.
I actually prefer to TD over stage manage. Like I said, my TD experience is minimal and I know IATSE is an impossible union to get into.
I don't think I want to go back to school, but I think I do want to pursue a career in tech.
So basically, what I want to know is, does anyone know how to go about this or a good way to get some credentials and experience in tech without actually having to go back to school? Thanks!
