Do field sound for a movie production. Easy compared to dealing with crappy bands who can't keep tempo and the pay is better.
I can't tell you how many field engineers completely suck and get away with it because of all the technology that fixes stuff in post. I started a gig today and our sound guy totally screwed us over by not showing up or responding to phone calls.
We couldn't shoot at all today because we were without sound and didn't have anything MOS lined up (without sound). The company is about to dish out some major bucks for 1 guy to come in with a field mixer, recorder and a friggin' boom mic. Of course this is AFTER I volunteer for the Camera department.
The indie industry needs good audio guys who know their craft. They are prized if they can polish a turd.
Just a thought.
