New Goon... go easy

How does your satisfaction and pay currently relate to when you were cutting commercials? This seems to be the only work experience you have in your desired industry.

I think you gut it out. Most positions you don't get your dream job or dream duties within the first couple years in the work force. Although you may be trained and qualified for better work doesn't mean you will get a position in a highly desired field like film editing.

My brother in law worked at post production houses (and subsidiaries of large film studios) for over 12 years. He built contacts worked in the mail room, did digital remastering and anything he could to network. He finally got hired on at a movie studio in an awesome position through a contact he made over 8 years prior. In highly desired industries (like film) expect a long line of doing work you don't enjoy for low pay before you get an excellent opportunity.
