Career Success? Audio Engineers – How Do You Measure That?
I’ve been working as an audio engineer in Australia since 1997. When I meet young sound engineers starting out, particularly women, I am inspired by their passion and fearless attitude towards forging a career in this very challenging industry, particularly in a country like Australia where the market for audio professionals is pretty small. The same questions and fears that I faced working in a male-dominated industry still confront women today. I want to share my story to illustrate how a career in sound can take many paths, but the key ingredients for longevity are the same today as they were 25 years ago.
