How did you guys get your firstly paying job? Did you scout out projects or did someone find you?

The lack of replies since November speaks volumes about how few people actually find paying jobs in this area.

I got my first gig because a colleague recommended me. I've gotten most of my other gigs have been the same way since then - through referral.

I long ago decided that music is where money went *into*, and the day job is where money comes *out of*.

I think you have to figure out a way to stand out, so the industry will take notice of you. Cold calling is a challenging way to get work, and having them know you from something helps. Networking is good, but I would also focus on creating the best work you can and getting it 'out there'.
