Audio editing and ego stroking. Pure leg work stuff. The client is a rather popular group, they used to be heroes of mine but god, this work is boring.

I agree, but if you were young and optimistic and loved music as I did you can easily think you're on some kind of viable path.

In defence of education I got this job through university. An old lecturer gave out my number when asked if he knew anyone suitable. The job is also using Logic, a program I would never have bothered to learn if I hadn't had to for an earlier college course, and I wouldn't have been given the job if I wasn't already competent with it.
To agree with you though, I am in the vast minority I think. Out of all my classmates who I keep in contact with I am the only one who has a relevant job and even that isn't stable (more like freelance work through a third party). The large majority of people on my degree (there were around 40) were guitarists doing it for a laugh with zero production or tech history and the course was taught as such.
My degree taught me very little in terms of practical knowledge, having spent five or six years teaching myself, especially with google at my finger tips. The modules I thought I would learn from (Game Audio for example) ended up being complete wastes of time, often out of date or completely irrelevant to any paid work you could go on to afterwards (in Game Audio we had one lecture on compression using PS1 audio standards and never did ANY practical compression or audio programming ourselves, basically scoring a CG trailer in stereo as our assessment!).
The degree was, however, useful in letting me get to play with bits of tech I can't afford and cultivating a few contacts, something I hope to expand upon dramatically through doing a masters. It's pretty much the ONLY reason I'm doing it to be honest.

I had a similar deal when it came to working in the Adult Entertainment industry. You'd think it'd be all "cum over this" and "let me rub that" but it's actually mainly admin and a lot of waiting around.

If I could do it over I'd study accounting, plumbing or armed robbery.

so, what you plan to do?
i still have a job(s) still not feeling ok at times, for stuff that sometimes appear irrelevant, and sometimes too much.. it took years to master the art of photoshop, when quality it isn't needed anymore. i'll probably be thrown making graphics for the ipad like a sheep with a shitty set of plugins. who cares as soon as i'm paid. scenes be seen already, just repeating in a modern key. with all the exceptions and shit. people are not doing very well every time i ask lately. what you can do?

i said 'art' because personal growth acquired trough an experience is the only deal, and because work intended in everyones way, career-like, is a huge bag of fools

I will make a super mental installation artistic mega piece which will blow your mind then disappear in to obscurity working in an office again.
In the immediate future I plan to go out for a few too many drinks and foolishly try to fuck one of the girls I live with, I don't care which one, I'll get turned down regardless.

If you're drunk enough, you might be able to have success with the living-mate-three-way and wake up with 2 girls beside you.
But then instead of them waking up embarrassed, they both say something like, "GoOOooood MooOoOrning, *your name*", in harmonizing unison.
