Employment / Re: Which is better?

I agree with what everyone has said about variety early in your career is great. I'm 4 years out of school and I've actually just taken all educational work off my resume. It is usually great experience but I am always wary of hiring an sm or tech who has ONLY done school productions as in my experience (which is not to say that it is everyones) that people who go through school only working on school productions tend to come out with a more inflexible attitude and have a bigger learning curve getting into the professional world than those who worked outside of school as well. So much of our job is flexibility getting to work with more people gives you the opportunity to learn more from them and learning tends to make one a better SM!
Good luck!
