Skills that raise your pay

• Networking

  Video now runs over computer networks. People who understand both are short in supply and paid for it.

• Audio engineering

  Live mixing for broadcast is its own craft and travels well into music and events.

• Transmitter and radio-frequency work

  Fewer people every year can do it, and stations must keep transmitters running.

• Streaming platforms

  Encoders, bitrates and delivery to online services. Where the new work is.
