Gaining experience is something that happens differently for technicians than for actors.  Actors often pay to participate in internships and showcases.  Technicians with college experience really should be able to gain more experience while getting at least a stipend.  No matter which way you cut it, beginning experiences will likely involve a whole lot of work.

Experience is a journey that is different for everyone, and has many facets.  To do this topic justice, I have decided to make it a series of articles and to file it in education.  I have also dedicated this entire week to this topic, so check back every day this week for some new thoughts on this very important topic.  Feel free to add comments about your own experiences.  How did you land your first job? 

Experience is the kind of education you must continue having the rest or your life.  Often, your earliest experience in this field is your school experience, but there are some other options.  In the end, however, you must begin where you are and go from there.  Everyone has a different beginning and the paths you can choose are as varied as the people choosing them. 

This week's posts will address the following questions and more:  Where did I personally begin?  What things can you learn from my first experiences?  Why is college a great starter for experience?  Are there options other than college?
