Ethan,
Finding work in audio/video production & editing will be no problem when you're ready to get serious about looking, given you have the right skill set, and can prove it.
I lead a team of content creators in the computer software industry and can tell you that the demand for this skill is higher than ever... Producing content that resonates with an audience is paramount to helping businesses stand out from their competition, any of us can think of examples of great content that left us intrigued, and also examples that left us feeling disappointed.
Another great thing about this type of work is that you could potentially do this work on the side to diversify your income, depending on your situation and the passion you have for the work.
There are tons of opportunities available, make sure your skills are sharp when you find the right one! Good luck!

If you're talking about broadcast video (local TV, network), the field of video production has changed dramatically over the past 15-20 years. Initially limited to multi-million dollar studios with specialized equipment requiring in-depth engineering expertise to operate, now just about anyone can manage the technical aspects from a PC with the right software. Thus, concentrate on the "production" aspects during your studies -- if you are interested in the hands-on aspects and want to work for a large company or production house, you need a solid understanding of video techniques, editing, audio, lighting, and scripting. If you're more into "producing" as a way to start and run your own business, then you need a reasonable understanding of the above, but also a concentration of project management, budgeting, and even some sales ability.
Broadcast production is a tough field to break into and even tougher to stay in. One offshoot that may be very profitable (if not as glamorous) is the production of industrial videos, like training and that sort of thing. There's a lot of demand for people who can do that, both within companies and with contract firms who produce them for others.
Good luck with your career!
