    What Are Some Good Jobs I Can Apply For With My Associates Degree In Film? 

    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?

      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!!

      Can you say, “Would you like fries with that?”
      An associates degree in film? Did you get that online?

      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.

      Or can you say “How do you like your coffee” You are better off working at a car wash….

      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.

      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.

      • 4 apples, peeled, cored, chopped into chunks
      • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
      • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
      • 1 tbs. brown sugar
      Place the apples in a food processor or blender and process for 1 minute. If you don’t have either of these appliances, then just chop the apples by hand, very small.
      Place the apples, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan and stir to combine the ingredients. Cook on medium low for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
      Remove from the heat and let the sauce cool for 15 minutes. Store the sauce in a tupperware bowl or a jar in the refrigerator.
      This makes 2 cups of Apple Sauce

      I tore this recipe out of a magazine a long time ago and LOVED it! Everyone who tastes it wants the recipe, and it’s SO easy.
      Microwave Applesauce
      2 McIntosh apples
      2 Granny Smith (or other tart) apples
      1 C water
      Juice of 1/2 of a lemon
      1/2 C sugar
      1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
      Halve and core all apples- peel them if you like.
      Cut into good-size chunks
      Put the apples, water and lemon juice in a deep, microwaveable 2 1/2 quart casserole.
      Stir sugar and cinnamon into apples
      Cook uncovered at full power for 5 minutes.
      Stir, and press the apples into the liquid.
      Return to microwave, and cook 5 minutes more.
      Use a potato masher to coarsely mash the apples, stirring them into the liquid.
      Let applesauce cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate.
      This is delicious, and smells great cooking.
      Applesauce will look watery, but will thicken upon standing.
      Enjoy!

    What Cookie Recipe Is Good For A Cookie Shape Pan? 

    I have a Norpro Holiday pan with the shapes already on the pan. I bake a lot but I’m not really a cookie person… So I’m confused as to which type of cookie recipe to use for such a pan. Would I use a regular sugar cookie recipe.. What if they expand too much and distort the shape? Are there specific recipes for these types of pans? Thanks!

    Recipe Using Chicken Stock, To Take Advantage Of Good Homemade Stock? 

    What is a recipe that uses chicken stock, that will take advantage of the flavors of a good homemade stock?
    In reading discussions of homemade vs store-bought stock, ppl say they use homemade for “delicate” soups and other recipes. For non-delicate recipes such as braises which would overpower the stock, store-bought is fine.
    So what would be a good “delicate” recipe? Is butternut squash soup “delicate”?

      Personally I have never heard that theory, I think it would depend upon the taste of the cook,the recipe,time involved,etc….store bought stock is really great to give anything a “slow, all day cooked flavor” when you haven’t got time to make stock. I usually make stock in large batches & freeze…then it’s handy whenever I need it, I realize most people don’t have the time for that….so store bought is fine….and nowadays, you can get so many varieties…..also remember that broth & stock are not the same! Stock is made with the bones or shells of the meat or seafood it’s to represent…..and usually cooked slow & reduced for a richer flavor….I also add vegetables to broth to kick up the flavor when I haven’t got or can’t get stock.

      You can use very little in Mexican rice…Most people use chicken bullion, but broth is just as good… You could also put it dough bread and cook it as usual…I am not the best cook though…haha

      Use you homemade stock as a base for gravy or chicken stew. That’s definitely the best showcase for your hard work!

    • Sarah M 7:50 am on January 17, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Butternut squash soup isn’t really delicate, but would probably taste great made with homemade stock.
      I’d say, make whatever you want with it, homemade will taste better than store bought and its probably better for you.
      If you really want to taste the stock, make your own chicken noodle soup with big chunks of chicken, carrot, and celery and egg noodles.
      Also, risotto might be a good use for the home made stuff.
