That's pretty much how the workflow is at a scoring stages in Los Angeles!

I meant the workflow, not the unpaid practical work placement, hire and fire we called that priciple.

The question is how fast a person who has the required talent will get paid. People working in this business are very fast in recognizing a talent. I started in 1981 pretty much like what megates posted, and was paid after a week. One of the biggest problem is finding qualified personal.

How fast indeed.

I for one am curious about the average time from internship to rent-paying status.  L.A. is not kind on the wallet.

Hey Angelo, back in 1981 when you started the same way, I didn't know Pro tools, Logic, Finale, internet etc. all these computer software and hardware we sweat to learn existed back then....

Yes, right, back then we didn't had ProStools and the other creepy crap, that's one of the reasons why the music of that era sounds so bad, we had to play the stuff because it was simply impossible to store much intelligence on 64 KB of memory. I owned one of the first Linn Drum and worked with the Synclavier.

Here a link to two videos of one composer and the studio folks who sleep 3 to 4 hour during production:
