Well-paid jobs in Scotland are generally pretty rare unless you belong
to one of the licensable professions, i.e. law, medicine, accountancy,
teaching, social work etc. Outside the licensable professions your
success will very much depend on factors that have nothing whatsoever
to do with your real skills or paper qualifications.
So by all means study sound design at Edinburgh Uni. But, unless you
manage to work for the BBC, I bet you will have to leave Scotland to
do well at it. Scots are generally not appreciated in their own land.
That's why so many of them work in London, or abroad in places like
the USA, Canada and Australia.
Whereas you have a much better chance of finding a good job in
Scotland if you COME from one of these places and have obtained your
qualifications there. These days foreigners are all the rage in
Scotland. Really!
This said - good luck with your career.
