Look at fiverr..full of amateur mixers charging 70 bucks to mix and master = no chance of us 'trained' engineers making anything. Over 7 thousand offering the same service on the same site. Too much supply, next to 0 demand.
Long story short, figure out why you wanna learn how to mix. If it's just to do your own material then great, if you wanna mix as a profession, forget about it, you'll make more as an uber driver or delivering pizzas part time.
It is a sad state of affairs we have all put ourselves in where the skilled craftsmen are now reviled by the people who claim to want them. People would rather insult the good craftsmen and overpay that $15 to the really shite ones. Which of course leaves them saying all Mix Engineers are rip-off merchants (except, of course, those selling their name on Wave Plugins to stay afloat).
The most common response I get when I offer that Mix Walkthrough video offer (a free mix kids) is anger. Like how dare I suggest I can do a better job than they can - even tho they started the thread by saying their mix was poor and wanted help.
People who say they want help, only want to be told how special & clever they are. I wish they'd simply start their posts honestly:
So, yo. I'm like feeling pathetic about my self and need you to all tell me how super awesome I am based on this really crappy effort I put into doing a half-assed clone of MC Shizzy Jizzer.

Before you send a snarky reply, riddle me an answer to this: How do we build something special out of this situation?
