      I have a masters in an academic field, but my profession is sound engineer. I learned the trade like an apprentice, but my academic background really helps my main job as a production manager — lots of organizing and communication to handle on the business side.

      I think a common misconception of (live) sound engineers is that we’re always partying, but this shit is work, especially if you find yourself on the road.
