Exactly what facet of the video production business YOU want to pursue now or over time dictates the amount of dues you’ll need to pay. Some have had formal training and years of internship. etc. before entering into their own operations.
Others have continued an ongoing education while simultaneously pursuing work in the field and experience.
Others have self-trained, learned from experience (and many mistakes) and pulled off a bootstrap business environment.
It also depends on whether you want to get into the same league as the BIG HOUSES, work for ENG, develop your own boutique or simply become an event video producer providing product and services for individuals and small businesses.
As in most businesses a lot is based on who you know, with WHAT you know catching up to you if you don’t KNOW it 😉
