When I did the intern hiring for a larger studio several years ago, we actually saw recording school as a negative, becuase the stereotype is the graduate that thinks he has paid his dues becaues he has gone to school. One thing that seems not to get taught in recording schools is the people skills of how to operate in the biz.

Are you calling smaller studios looking for internships? There are tons of studios that would love free labor.

If you are thinking of getting into this biz, I will give one simple bit of advice: If there is anything else in the world you could do and still be happy, then go do that. Its insanely hard and getting worse everyday. You need to be in it only for the need to be making records, because you will most likely work 7 days a week just to be poor. Thank god I am a bit older and managed to get a good reputation before the competition got too insane.
