PA nation: Please STOP WORKING UNPAID GIGS for strangers. It upsets the job market and decreases the likelihood that deadbeat companies will ever offer paid PA work.

Truth is they don’t NEEDs PAs. PAs are a luxury. If a company cannot afford to pay their PAs they are un-professional or have priority issuses, an ego and likely will not provide good training or experience. In fact often these companies will teach you bad habits or the wrong way because the producers are not experienced enough to teach you anything but what not to do.

If you want experience don’t work these free gigs- produce your own stuff. You’ll learn so much more and become better than any of these jokers who won't roll up thier sleaves and have to rely on other people to do thier dirty work.
