Answering The Questions We Hear You Asking The Most

 

When I was first coming into the industry I struggled with a variety of ignorances.  It was so overwhelming that it was difficult to know where to start, what questions do I ask and who do I call to ask them.  This is one of the very few industries (the only one I know of) that there is no common or widely known guide to the industry.  From what skills you need, what education is recommended or even how to find a job.  It’s not like in the Edwardian Era and before when you were born into the industry, now it’s a career choice.  A career path with no obvious door, paved roads or signs pointing you in the right direction. My hopes are that these posts help guide future professionals along a smoother path than I took.   Please comment with your thoughts and perceptions to help guide your fellow professionals towards success.
