How do broadcast engineers/technicians advance to higher positions in their careers?
Hi! I am a senior who will be graduating in May and am super passionate about electronic media with a sports concentration, which is what I am hoping to earn a degree in at Texas State University. I have 3 years of experience working as a broadcast technician at my local stadium, and I hope to continue it during college. I always wondered how technicians "move" up in positions? Is there a certain process you have to go through to run each piece of equipment (switcher, replay, etc) at certain companies? Or does everyone sort of switch around based on the mood? I recently started wondering about this because I really do love sports broadcasting and being able to successfully run a broadcast production, but later on in life, I want to hopefully use those skills to become a film director, and I wonder how I can put those skills to use!
