Due to personal circumstances, I have decided to take a break from school. I don't know how long my break is going to be, I guess it depends on how some other things in my life go.
In the meantime I am focusing on some new and different things, and I am excited!
I have gotten a part time job at Guitar Center! I am working as a Customer Operations Associate. I am a flute player, so why would I be excited about a job at Guitar Center? I will tell you why!
It has been a lifelong dream of mine to have my own home recording studio. 10-15 years ago this seemed like nearly an impossible task, because of expenses involved, large mixing equipment needed, and lack of experience and knowledge. Well, ladies and gentlemen, times have changed. We are in the 21st century, and not only is equipment becoming more portable and affordable, but there is a wealth of knowledge online and in books, and affordable training programs. Once I got this job at Guitar Center, I finally decided I think it's about time I make my dream a reality!
Guitar Center sells more than guitars. They also sell electric pianos and keyboards, drums, DJ equipment, sheet music, and top of the line pro audio equipment.
I started this job about 3 weeks ago, and am very excited to be working with musicians and recording artists who have a wealth of knowledge in their fields. Guitar Center hires employees with extensive experience for their individual departments. Every day I go to work I am trying to learn a little more, and it is going a long way.
I finally have a good idea of the type of equipment I need for my desired purposes. I still need to do some more research and learn a little bit more, and once I know exactly what equipment I need I am going to make a budget, and do it! My goal is to get the best possible equipment for the price, and not to buy the cheapest equipment and software just to find out I need to upgrade later. So, I am in no rush, I am simply taking in all the knowledge I can so I can make an informed decision when the time comes.
That's awesome! I'll have to stop by some time. I've been meaning to get some new sheet music.
