I have an Associates Degree in Film. I've been working in my field a little, but not as often as I'd like. I'm not able to move to LA where most of the Film Jobs are. I have a Wife and a Future family that I have to support and my current job as a Fim Projectionist Supervisor isn't working for me anymore. What kind of Jobs could I apply for that offer benefits and pay at least $10-$12 an hour? I've already applied to Marketing and Sales Jobs, as well as Cutomer Service/Call Center places. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Do you have any editing experience? If so there are always a ton of editing or assistant editor jobs in LA. Maybe you could look into that. Also you could look into PA (production assistant) jobs, but once again they might be few and far between. Its really about who you know! I know exactly what you mean- I have a film degree too (BA) but it's hard to have a steady source of income with film.

Congratulations on your degree!! Film is so exciting and ever-expanding.
I don't know where you're located geographically, but craigslist is always a good option. . . and there are job postings all over the US. Look under the tv/film/video headings.
Also, don't forget about local tv stations.... they usually have websites and job listings.... or even check out local colleges and universities-- a lot of times they'll have job resources/openings on their websites. Look into their career services... and of course, take advg of the career services department at the school you graduated from. I bet there's more there than you think.
And one other resource that people often overlook is their public library!! There are plenty of career-related books you could pick up and get ideas from.
If you are really in a pinch, you could try a temp agency, as well.
Good Luck!!

Look into City or State Jobs. They often have media productions, Marketing and other jobs in your field. It sounds like you would have ample education and experience to find a lucrative position. The pay can be quite good and with a family the benefits are unequaled.

What about video production with the TV stations? You'd mostly be involved in producing commercials for the TV station's advertising clients, but it might pay a little better than what you're currently making.
Good luck.

"Its all approximately who you realize" that's a real assertion. Its additionally approximately success, and assembly the best human beings. Its no longer a no longer ordinary industry to get in (The action picture industry has extra jobs than the different industry), you in straight forward terms might desire to look. Make a attractiveness for your self, and get fortunate.
