@cocoman2615- Wow. I work in my school auditorium and it is great. I am 15 and It is really fun working lights for my school. This will be my future too.

@cocoman2615 whats stopping you? save up buy a few LED par cans and a dmx controller start off just doing some lighting for parties make money buy more lights and keep going, plus starting at a young age gives you a lot of time to learn the ropes being what 15 now? you would be at high school? why don't you ask around see if you can join your schools sounds and lighting department or if the school doesn't have one consider talking to the principle and starting one
