Getting Started as a Mixing Engineer

[MaKoRancid]

Hey everyone,

My parents are getting kind of pissed about the noise I've been making and the strangers i've been bringing into my house for the past 3 years. I was thinking about putting recording on hiatus for a while and trying to start something as a mixing engineer. I would assume this is something much harder to get a good client base for, but a steady 9-5 every day doesnt really matter to me. I'm a student at Umass lowell for Sound Recording so a lot of my time is taken up anyways. I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction, or if any of you are actually doing this some tips would be great. Im just not sure where to get started. Do you think advertising in a magazine would get me any jobs?
