Finding work as an assistant

[jars121]

Good evening all!

Here's my story: I'm 22, in my 5th year of an Engineering/Commerce double degree at UNSW, and I've been shooting for close to 6 years now. I started off shooting on a Nikon F65D 35mm SLR, before moving over to digital. Since moving over to digital, I've moved back to film (for the majority of the work I do), primarily shooting an F5 and a Fuji G617. At the moment I'm only studying at uni for 1 day a week, thanks to some lucky timetabling of classes. I love this industry, and have done some assistant work in the past. Ideally I'd be able to find some paid assistant/studio manual labourer work for 2-3 days a week. How likely is this? Do these jobs even exist anymore? I'm hoping there are some seasoned pro's on this forum that can provide some insight!

Cheers,

Jamie

I guess you'll just have to ask around Jamie.

Thanks for the input Ray Since posting this, my situation has changed somewhat. I'm now in a full-time engineering internship position, which doesn't leave much time for assisting I'm afraid! I'd still relish the opportunity if it presented itself though.
