ORIGINAL: JasonS

I'm a video engineer. Mostly live events. Set up cameras, projectors, ect for large venue events such as concerts, trade shows, shareholders meetings. Tech director during the shows.
I am a video editor in the off-season. I should be editing right now instead of surfing rcuniverse.

Upside: can sneak my indoor flyer into some of the largest venues around. Get to walk around with backstage passes and look important. Get paid handsomely to be at the concerts others pay to attend. Get to fly my simulators on 60ft. displays.
Downside: work too many evenings and weekends. On call all the time. Work with famous people with famous egos.
Work is very seasonal and the hours suck. Might work 20 hour days for a week and then work a total of 20 hours the next week.

I spent 2 years working for a Winston Cup champion in Charlotte after dropping out of Aerospace Engineering due to a lack of funds. I decided the hours working in racing sucked for someone wanting to start a family and got into my current field. The hours as a video engineer are just as bad.
When I was majoring in AE I intended on getting into the UAV field.
How does one go back to school with children and a mortgage?

Thats gotta rock! I work for a video manufacturer and sometimes I get to take home the projector and play with my G2 on a big screen...just not THAT big!

I can't believe this thread has been going this long! Who woulda thought?

Airline pilot. Originally from Australia but now working in Japan. Current aircraft is Boeing 737-400 (LHS). Not a bad job; dirty work but somebody has to do it. Back into RC flying after 20+ years of doing other things.

This thread has been going on for so long that since I last posted I have:
1. Finished my contract job (July 31)
2. Spent a couple of months looking for a new job before finally giving up and spending most of Ocober flying.
3. Restarted my job 3 months later (in November) back at the same desk, in the same building, doing the same job and reading the same RCU thread!
