ProSoundWeb: Many years ago, I was asked to accompany the president of Neumann Berlin to Aspen, CO to attend a music festival, specifically the Aspen Festival, a classical music mecca held in the Rocky Mountains during the summer months. Musicians, conductors, and classical recording students converge there to learn the trade and get experience practicing their crafts.

How do I stay true to myself as I advance through my career?
There is a lot to unpack in this article as Karl goes through a bunch of talking points we as seniors have been thinking about as we look for our first real career jobs. I have decided to go into more of the managerial side of production, and while my resume does not directly serve this line of work, I am getting through to some companies that see the value in my education and work experience as someone who can manage and budget and get people to work together. When I started applying for colleges I was a die-hard theatre person. I wanted to build Broadway shows and attend red carpet events and do everything the stars did. But as a grew up through CMU I realized what really makes me happy is not always being the one screwing two pieces of wood together, but being the one to figure out how and why and making sure the people on the floor have everything they need to make it happen.
How to be true to yourself in your career. I noticed that Kim also wrote about his but it is the strongest point in this article. At the beginning of the article it makes the point that there are so many positions in the audio field that aren’t talked about all of time. I am really interested in learning about all of the lesser known positions in this field. My interest in audio aside, this article has words of wisdom that can ring true for anyone, not just audio and not even just people in the entertainment industry. People are often persuaded and moved into jobs for the money and they find themselves doing something that they don’t love. I think it will be interesting to enter the workforce and see where I find my passion, what if I like the work that pays the least the best? Do I just leave that behind because I won’t be able to support myself. I think with time I will find this, but for me and it was mentioned in this article and it might be a naive view but I think you should be happy doing your work first are foremost.
