Try Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. They're expensive I warn you.

I would like to own my own production company one day. I will graduate from college this coming December with my bachelors in arts and concentration in film and video. I hopefully want to make movies but I know the movie industry is tough to break into. Thank you for asking!

Premiere seems to be the one with more power... So it may be harder to learn, but down the road, you'll be doing cooler stuff..\n\nBut if you have access to a Mac, I would HIGHLY recommend Final Cut Pro as the best product

Like anything else it depends on what you consider to be a 'ton of money', where you are looking, and how good you are.  While it's certainly not the norm, there are definitely computer engineers making more than $100K only a few years out of school.\n\nI would definitely suggest getting your degree.  There's a lot of competition out there and you can get by if you have friends at hot companies who will refer you but otherwise your resume will go in the trash if you don't at least have a bachelor's.  The associates degree is really not worth the time if you're already a decent computer tech.

I know a Unix system administrator who makes 85,000 right after school. Software testers are also in demand.  You can make more money and have a more secure job if you are good at managing people overseas in an outsourcing environment.\n\nIf you really like money, consider sales and be paid on commission. First, there's no limit on your potential income.  The harder you work, the more you make.  Second, you have more opportunities to be promoted to an executive position, making more than 200,000 per year plus lots of stock options.\n\nTo produce a good current income, pornography is a lucrative business, especially while you are still young and hot.  A reputable one in the US is\n\nhttp://www.hustler.com/beaverhunt/\n\nThen, use your earned cash to invest in your education towards your long-term ambitious career goals.

Why not work with what you have?\n\n90% of editing should be done with simple cuts or crossfades. By sticking with the basics you minimize the amount of rendering that needs to be done and you distract the audience less by not having special transitions and effects.\n\nDon't forget, you want the audience to become so engaged by the story you as the editor/director/camera operator are telling that they forget they are watching tv. If you have basic editing software, use it to it's fullest to get your story across. Remember, it only takes a camera and the internet to reach the world, and a good story to change it!\n\nMichael Jordan wasn't the greatest basketball player of all times because he had the best shoes. He had the fundementals, athletic ability and drive to be the best. You don't need a full on avid to be the best storyteller in the world. You need to know the fundementals of a good story, and the drive to see that story get told.\n\nTony

It probably depends on your education and skills. If you have some free time, you can work some evenings at a grocery store or other retail outlet (assuming your husband can watch the kids or you can arrange some other care for your children). Those jobs don't require any specific skills and can usually offer very flexible hours. Of course, the pay isn't great.\n\nIf you are a stay-at-home Mom, you could consider babysitting other people's children along with your own during the day for some extra money.\n\nIf you have a specific skill or education, you may be able to find something more lucrative in those fields that allow you to work flexible hours, maybe even at home. For example, English majors can sometimes fine work doing freelance editing work at home.\n\nGood luck!

The only way to make money is to earn the respect of your peers and associates, gain experience, and attain industry certifications.  Once you do all this, you will be marketable and will be able to ask for higher compensation.\n\nJust having a degree means nothing.  I've interviewed plenty of people with degrees before to work in lower positions, and I don't have one myself.  That means a degree is only worth as much as you project it.\n\nAim high.  Sell high.

Most definately adobe premiere, it can do pretty much anything and can turn out broadcast quality video, its not cheap and you'll ideally need a fast computer with a big either internal or external drive but its the daddy by far.

I'm sorry to say you will not get any offers to make illegal copies of software and send them to you. We all want you to have a happy and blessed life but none of us want to go to prison for copyright violation.\n\nBy the way, Mac and Windows versions of Flash and Photoshop are about the same price. If you are skilled in using Final Cut Pro (about $1,000) for professional video editing, you surely will get a very high paying job soon such as at a TV studio or advertising company.

It sure isn't entry level... I'm an assistant media planner and I don't make a whole lot. I have a friend who is a media planner in Chicago and she makes around $70k, another is a brand planner and he makes a ton.

1) If you find something you enjoy doing, you're going to be making the big bucks sooner. Trump himself said the easiest and quickest way to making the money is to do something you LIKE. If you like to do it, you'll be happier to do more of it.\n\n2) Don't only go by cash--find what you are good at and go from there. Are you good at English? Try journalism. Are you good at creativity and art? Try graphic design. Go from there.\n\nGet away from the cash trap--honestly. I just got out of college and expected to make $50K. Guess what? I'm looking at making just over $30K.
