• Sound Engineer
• Network Admin/Engineer
• Reason(s):
• Sound Engineer: I have always wanted to
make and edit music, and this result
showed up on my suggestions for a good
career.
• Network Admin/Engineer: This career is
challenging, which I like, and $116,000
average pay? Unbeatable.
MY FIRST CHOICE (SOUND ENGINEER)
• Nature of Work: Make, mix and record musical productions (Music, TV,
Radio etc.)
• Working Conditions (location):
• For TV productions: in-studio and on-the-go
• For Music production: in-studio and on-the-go, sometimes global travel
• For Radio productions: in-studio and on-the-go
• Educational Preparation Requirements: 1-2 or more years of
training, informal training, a certificate and an apprenticeship.
• Salary Potential: Low-end earnings: $25,990, Average earnings:
$54,740, High-end/Experienced earnings: $121,320
• Benefits: health insurance, retirement plan(s), paid leave
MY FIRST CHOICE (NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR/IT SPECIALIST)
• Nature of Work: Set up, configure and maintain network
systems, such as Internet access, servers, data backups/cloud
services and software.
• Working Conditions (Location): Usually on-site, but in
extreme cases, remote management is acceptable.
• Training/Education Requirements:
Minimum associate's degree, but bachelor's degree is
preferred. Certificate and major in
computer/IT science required.
• Salary Potential: Low-end earnings: $52,370, Average
earnings: $83,510, High-end/Experienced earnings: $132,520
• Benefits: Health insurance, retirement plan(s), paid leave
MY BEST CHOICE: NETWORK ADMIN/IT SPECIALIST
• Salary Comparison: In Nevada, demand for IT Specialists is lower than
average, however, California has higher than average demand for IT
Specialists. I will most likely apply for a job in California.
• Income Comparisons: Network Admin's average salary: $83,510 vs
Sound Engineer's average salary: $54,740
• Education's Effect on Income: The rule of thumb is more education,
more money. Network Administrators require more education
than sound engineers, which explains the salary difference.
• Advantages of IT career: Desk job, more money, more colleagues for
help
• Disadvantages of IT career: Highly competitive due to high
demand, smaller area of work, not as fun as sound engineering
• Future Cost of Living: This career has plenty of benefits and a large
salary to compensate for costs of living
