Acutely spotted, B-O-A. You should consider work in a recording studio. It's not glamorous to begin with (if it EVER gets glamorous) and most engineers begin as tape-ops, pro-tools operator or assistant engineer (like Steve Lillywhite, whose answer to "How do you get to be a successful record producer, Steve?" was always "Make the best tea in the studio". It's at least partly true also. Musicians get so accustomed to drinking terrible tea from so many sources that an excellent cup of tea will always win attention and rave notices while your superb "drop-in" may have passed without notice.
The most interesting tape op I ever worked with was Mariella Frostrup, who worked at Lombard Studios in Dublin in the late 70s and assisted me on "The Moon Is Puce" by The Atrix. We became social friends and it is a little known and uncredited fact that's me up there assisting the tape-op on ABBA's "Live At Wembley" recordings!
Mariella, a woman with a fascinating voice even at the age of 17, went on to become a hugely successful broadcaster on BBC Radio 4.
