[webproducers] Re: Getting started in "the biz". Suggestions?

Hi All,

I'm new to this group and wanted to ask a few additional questions  
that are related to this thread.

I'm a mid-level producer, but have only worked in print and  
broadcast.   I'm currently looking for work, and would like to get  
into web production, but don't have any related experience.  Do any  
of you have suggestions on how I can learn more about web/ 
interactive?  Are there classes to take? Should I apply for more  
entry level jobs and start over? Any guidance would be very helpful.

Thank you.

Best,
Nicole
