sound or audio studio?

Question:

I wanna have a job at recording/sound or audio studio?

i'm actually doing sound engineering at chruch
(using Midas Verona console)
it is great experience for me because what i want to do as a career is music/sound engineering.
however, i'm pretty sure the field of sound engineering on world out there must be more complicated so....
i want to get a job as whatever at Studio as long as i can learn the things in professional job field. and my question is where can i get the informations about those internship/job opportunities?

The very last thing I would do would be to go to one of the "recording" schools. I've found it to be much easier to teach someone fresh off the streets than to retrain someone that has been to one of the recording schools. You'll learn more in one real world session than you would in 6 months of school.

You see, schools live in the theoretical world. In this world, resources, schedules and solutions all fall into a very neat and simple box. Sadly, the world doesn't work that way. Resources are finite - every piece of equipment is used in every conceivable manner. Schedules are never what they should be - most projects are on very tight schedules and there is never enough time to do every thing that is needed. Finally, the solutions taught in schools just don't have any anchor in reality.

If you want to learn about studios, find a project and take them into the studio. Get other people to pay for you to learn. Produce some bands and watch what the engineers do. Befriend them. Believe me, if you bring some projects to some mid sized studio, you'll be their friend for life.

That would probably be the best way to learn. After all, even if you go to some overpriced school and you are lucky enough to get an internship, you'll never see the control room because most people don't want some nosy intern bothering their session. Not the engineer, not the client.
