-So I just thought I’d ask around about this for the umpteenth time: I’d like to find a FULL-TIME videographer or video editor job WITH BENEFITS that’s not in commercial TV news where I would shoot documentary footage, like Frontline or Nova, or some of the stuff they shoot on the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet, or maybe even Jack Hanna’s "Into the Wild". I’ve been told before that the vast majority of those guys are freelancers who either own their own equipment, or rent it on a per-gig basis. I don’t want to do that, I’ve been working full time jobs all my adult life. I don’t want to work for a local PBS affiliate, either, since those places usually don’t have any money.
But every time I go to the employment section of pbs.org, or discovery.com, the only job openings they seem to have are things I’m not qualified for and wouldn’t be interested in even if I were qualified, like:
