I don't know how it works in different schools.. At my university, there's only a handful of actual production classes, and the "audio production degree" is actually 80% media crap, and 20% production.. Unless you're going to an actual recording school, I assume it's something similar to that.

If that's the case, I suggest switching your major, and taking production as a minor. You'll get the production skills the school offers, minus the media theory, plus you'd have a degree that could actually land you a job.

Make a resume and a demo reel, but don't put stuff you worked on at school on it, or at least make a note of it. We had a guy who put mixing James Brown on his resume (and it turned out he was told to do so by his school, some institute down in Hollywood).
