Thanks . . . btw, I video edit and do a little Lightroom 3 and Photoshop. At this point I am not sure what to use to video edit. Since I am a student I can get Avid Media Composer 6 at a bargain price or I could buy Final Cut Pro X or learn to use Premiere 5.0 which I already have.
What do you use at school? If you can learn all three (or at least get comfortable enough with 'em) you may have a leg up on getting work. I've used Avid, Final Cut Studio and am dabbling in Premiere. Of those three, I like the old FCP Studio the most. Haven't had much opportunity to play with FCPX, and I don't care much for Premiere, but it's now a decent enough program that people won't laugh at you for using it like they did ten years ago.
As a student, you can also get a sweet deal on Adobe software, but I would plan it out and buy right after a new release (6.5, 7, etc) as you can't upgrade edu versions. But at least you can use them for work (depending on your region).
