Massachusetts and, I belive, New York, require projectionist licensing as well. There may be other states/provinces that also require this. Massachusetts also has fairly strict standards for projection booth construction (including portable booth construction).

Not bad, but what is the pay/benefits?

Why do you need a college degree to do this? Secondly, who would be the employer? It was a site for student advantage.

Doesn't the IA control most of the licensing in these areas? And if you have an IA traveling card, wouldn't that be considered a type of licensing?

IA does not control licensing but each provicincial theatres branch who do censoring and theatre inspection
A traveling card is not a license even in the few remaining US areas that have state licensing

Scott,

Unfortunately New York does not require licensing. Even if it was a "joke" test it would keep quite a few morons out of the booths. Now only if the union had more power...

Yes, New York doesn't require licensing. Connecticut also dropped it last year.
