NIKKI NEXO · 9th October 2007

I've always had an interest in sound design, foley and post production. I am considering going to a school like Fullsail in Orlando, Florida for a year to learn more about recording and post production. To me, this would be like a hobby that I got paid to do.

Is going to a school like this really worth it and what is the likelyhood that I'll be able to get a job in sound design/post after school?

I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida now and will relocate to Orlando to go to school (if I go). Will I have to relocate again to find a job? If so, where are the most prominent cities for sound design/foley and post?

What type of money can I expect to make right out of school once I do get a job?

Is there anything else that I've left out that might be helpful?

Thanks for any and all help. I am open to any and all suggestions.
