Back in 2010, a number of you so generously gave advice to me about my 14 year son here. I thank you so much for that.

Now, two years later, my son appears to be leaning to a career as a recording engineer. Again, I need help from the DU member "database". Does he need a degree from a school to do this ? How does he get an entry level job in this field ? Is Los Angeles the place to go for young people to get started ?

Once again, thank you soooooooooooooooo much for your generosity of spirit and time. My son and I appreciate it deeply.
