Top 3 Dream Jobs: Musician, Mixer, Engineer
Musician Interview: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/jack-black-remembers-ronnie-james-dio-he-kicked-major-ass-20150515
This interview is of Jack Black regarding the anniversary of the death of metal singer Ronnie James Dio. Although it isn't all that much about the career of Jack Black, it shows his respect towards Ronnie James Dio and how he was influenced by him to get into the Music Industry as a musician. This article hasn't changed my order of preference of dream jobs, because it shows the respect between fellow musicians at the professional level. I like how musicians have such an enormous amount of passion for their jobs, and that's why this is so high on my list of dream jobs.
Mixer Interview: http://speakhertz.com/7828/interview-producermixer-sie-medway-smith
This interview is of Sie Medway-Smith, a producer/engineer. The interviewer asked questions regarding how he got to where he is, and what he went through to get there. He had to work less important jobs like being a tape-op. This makes me respect the position even more so if I was able to get that job, I would feel like I had earned that job and that it's a desireable position. I think that I would be willing to follow the same path in order to obtain this job.
Engineer Interview: http://www.elvis.com.au/presley/interview_with_elvis_presleys_sound_engineer_bill_porter.shtml
This interview is of Bill Porter, the engineer who worked with artists, notably Elvis Presley. He was known for making his recordings sound better than they should have on the equipment that was used. This job is really interesting to me because you get to be on hand with all sorts of musicians in the studio, and the final sound is all based upon how you worked the recording. This position obviously takes a lot of experience to work at a professional level, but I'm willing to put in the hard work and hours if it means improving my own skills as an engineer.
