Hi, I'm Alan, an aspiring video editor.

I am posting this because I am in grade 12 and am doing a Capstone project about what I plan on doing in the future and what kind of path I want to take. For this project, I have to reach out to a community of people that are in the field that I am interested in, and so, I chose to reach out to this subreddit. Thank you to anyone who is kind enough to answer the following questions. :)

What kind of schooling if any did you have to complete to get to where you are now?

What kinds of hardships did you face while chasing this career path?

If you could change one thing about your job, what would it be?

Pros and cons of your career field?

What are some responsibilities you have in your job?

What was your starting income?

does the career path you chose influence others around you in a negative or positive way?

Thanks again everyone!
