Same thing happens to us with boom operators. Or at least to me with boom operators. You train someone to do boom and then... well... BOOM. They have a marketable skill and can work. Which means we're off the boom operator gravy train.
But that's not what's important. On Reddit they have an "Ask a 4-year-old anything" thread.

Well I've operated boom on 2 Pandora movies so far, and since it's not my think, don't look for work as a boom op, so unless I'm absolutely terrible at it, and you haven't said anything, you may be in luck.
However, if I am terrible at it, you may still be stuck with me since you either scare away all the other boom ops, or they get paid elsewhere :)
It's only because it's not your thing ;-). But really I was actually referring to boom ops I trained back when I was a production sound mixer. But that's the thing with boom opping -- you can actually get work as one.
Really? I'm either doing something wrong, or picked the wrong field.
Do you actually want to be a boom op? I thought you wanted to camera/edit/light.
