Career Goals

I am in the digital video and audio track of digital media, I am learning to film and edit movies.  My long term career goal is to direct movies, but I also have a strong interest in editing and visual effects, and hope to begin with a job in that.  Idealy I would like to edit movies (next to directing them) or possibly television shows.  I am currently searching for any internships in the field of video/audio or editing.  I've found it very difficult to find such internships in the area, but i have been told about a digital effects studio in buffalo and plan to contact them in hopes that they offer an internship program.  This class so far has helped me to learn how to better navigate the web.  I feel much more fluent in my knowledge of web browsing and websites etc.  The world of video and the world of the internet are very much conected in todays society.  It would not be easy trying to get a career in digital video with out some knowledge of the internet, so this class has definatly helped me greatly.
