Proposals Part Two

I would like to choose an IT worker at PSU, an analyst or a cameraman on Comcast Sportsnet, and a sound recorder as my three project ideas
1. I have always admired those who have fixed commodities and an IT worker seems like a really nice job in my eyes. Working at Penn State should be a small commute to get an interview, especially on the Abington campus. I have met once with some of the tech professionals down the hall and I would love to ask them further about their lives. Everyone requires IT workers since practically every business has an online profile or uses equipment.
2. I would love to be a cameraman or work equipment with Comcast Sportsnet. This company is based in Philadelphia and the best part is that they work alongside the professional sports teams. As a Phillies fan, I would really enjoy that. Miss Applebottom is currently the NBC Sports Philadelphia host and probably would know more information. Cameramen are a necessity for all entertainment, someone needs to operate the camera when the others play, right?
3. Another job that I would love is to work as a sound mixer or editor. I have met up with and am currently friends with Jack Link, a tunes DJ stationed in Philadelphia. (Delightful guy by the way.) Telecommunications plays a large roll in this, seeing as the audio has to be recorded, edited, distributed, then played. This audio field is interesting to me, I can definitely see myself finding a home in this niche corner of the world.

Narrow It Down Time

I would like to choose Mr. Jack Link as my potential interview-ee. He has a career that is not only intriguing but also a very optimal choice in my eyes. Mr.Link's career as a sound mixer is somewhat accomplish able. Let me explain. To be able to work as Mr. Link does would take upwards of ten-twelve years. He works on his own, two to three days a week, and earns more than enough to stay afloat along with his three kids and his wife. I will not be able to get that lifestyle in my first three to five years out of school. Being able to join an existing sound mixing company or assisting a recording studio would be a lot more accomplish-able; enough so I could make a living as a man fresh out of college with his girlfriend. I can easily contact Jack Link, and I have a very good feeling about reaching out to get an interview with him. I have all three of his websites, his card, as well as both his business and personal email address. I also have his phone number in my wallet.
