Branches, and what they pay

• Film and television post-production

  Dialogue editing, sound effects, mixing. The steadiest well-paid branch.

• Game audio

  Implementing sound inside a game engine. Growing, and needs some programming.

• Live and touring

  Front of house and monitor engineers. Great money on the road, hard on relationships.

• Music recording

  The dream for most people entering the field, and the branch with the least money in it.
