There, stations seek highly experienced personnel. Prospects for entry level positions generally are better in small cities and towns for people with appropriate training. Employment in the motion picture industry will grow faster than the average for all occupations, as more movies are made. Job prospects are expected to remain competitive, however, because of the large number of people attracted to this relatively small field. Most job openings will result from the need to replace experienced technicians who leave the occupation.
Turnover is relatively high for broadcast technicians.
Many leave the occupation for electronic jobs in other areas such as computer technology or commercial and industrial repair because the number of jobs is limited in large cities where pay is high. Others with similar jobs and training include drafters, engineering and science technicians, surveyors, air traffic controllers, radiologic technologists, respiratory therapy workers, cardiovascular technologists and technicians, EEG technicians, and medical laboratory technicians.
