They have good pay, even when starting out, the only catch is finding work before you make sort of a name for yourself isn't the easiest. But yeah, perseverance will get you places!
I'm a bit of a Disney fan boy. :3
This is why I want to keep media, because realistically, if things fall to poop regarding me and the film industry, that is a practical place to get a job/career whatever as a backup!
Oh God don't feel sorry for editors! If they are me, (and they really should be) editing is, probably too much fun. :P Like, I made a short film last year for school, and I loved locking myself away and editing. It's so intense and rewarding seeing everything come together. Of course that doesn't suit everybody, but also because proper films have editing teams, so you might not work alone.
But yeah, I am such an editing nerd. I'm not amazing at it, but boy I love it!
