Not at all. He said he wants to be a sound engineer. These come in many
different forms (and not all of them require a degree). He needs to be more
specific about what he wants to do. Just saying he wants to be a "sound
engineer" doesn't cut it.


As I wrote on another reply,

mixing music, it's not so clear to me too what I want to do, but what
I know is that I want to use my rational skills for the music. Maybe
I'm a dreamer, or just ingenuos, but I'm 22 and I can still decide
what to do with my life, so... I want to try, and I need all the
informations I can have from you all "

Any suggestion will be appreciated

Thank you!!!

If your goal was to study in the US, I would suggest that you attenda
four school and obtain BSEE. Your skills in physics and math make you
perfectly suited for the coursework. There are a few engineering schools
that offer specializations in acoustics, and others in music or stage
craft.

Purdue University is well regarded for its engineering and its theater
sound programs. Penn State well known for their graduate acoustics
programs. The University of Miami has a music/engineering program.


If you obtain an engineering degree, you will be employable in a number
of fields, not limited to music or sound reinforcement.

Mixing sound is but one small facet of pretty broad industry. There are
a number of career opportunities that are pretty far from knob jockey,
but still enable you to be connected to an interesting career.

Don't waste your time going to "knob school". Get the real sheepskin. It
will increase your value to many (not all) prospective employers.

What do you mean for "knob schools" ?

You haven't made it clear whether you want to be involved in live sound or
recording. If it's live sound you want to do then a degree would probably be
a waste of time. If it's recording then a degree will help but still won't
do much to get you into the industry. You do need to be more specific about
what you want to do before you waste your time getting a degree that will do
you no good in getting into the industry. This is one profession where
qualifications don't mean that much and experience does.
