Start building relationships with people who work in the scripted world, and make sure those people know you're a capable, trustworthy camera assistant. Without those relationships in place, there's a very good chance you'll start back at the bottom. Good luck!

This is an important distinction to make. We should all develop the ability to work with people we might not like. Particularly when it comes to working with (or for) people who have the power to move us forward in our career. That's a no-brainer skill to develop.

But I don't think it's necessary to put up with everyone around you no matter what. Because some people will endlessly deplete your time and energy, and engaging with them won't do a single thing to further your career or your enjoyment of life. Since our time and energy are our most valuable resources, sometimes it makes sense not to devote resources to people who don't make the cut.

It's maybe a cynical approach to networking, but it works wonders for building a quality network over time, instead of just schmoozing with anybody and everybody.
