Doing the Communications program right now at Washington State. Got a couple classes to go to get certified in it, but once I get in I'm thinking about doing some radio production stuff and then eventually get a radio gig somewhere. We'll see, I'm constantly changing what I want to do so who knows.
Fake ID's are a college staple. Just walk in with a Drew Bledsoe Wazzou jersey, and Green Doberman will buy you cocktails all night.
Yeah I'd be down to get a fake but I've already got a record, got a MIC (Minor In Consumption) last summer. On probation until this coming September when I turn 21. Shouldn't have blown for the po's, but made momma proud blowing a .28 :toast:
I hope this is ok that I post this here?

Been working on newspapers for more than 30 years...hate to say don't do it but this industry is being sucked down the toilet by the Internet, 24-hour news and sports channels and the fact no one wants to sit down and read anymore, unless it's on the crapper.
It's a great business, but there is no pay. I still love it, but I'm glad I'm within 10-15 years of retirement. Web sites are the thing now, but no one can figure out how to make money off of them.
Bigger papers are offering buyouts left and right. If you love it, go for it, but it is not a field for the weak of heart, unfortunately.

I have a journalism degree from Penn State and worked in radio/television for several years before moving into a different career field. The business is very competitive. Lots of people want to do it however there are a limited number of entry level jobs. The best advice I could give is to try and get experience in the business. See if local stations have an interenship program or volunteer to do "shit-work." Anything you can do to get a foot in the door. I worked for free at a local radio station while in college and it lead to a full time job at graduation.
SCT, a four year university degree is going to be far more useful than a trade school degree in a narrow field like radio/TV
The primary reason why the compensation is not huge in any of those industries is quite simply because it's not difficult to fill the positions in that they are not exactly a "highly skilled" trade.
They certainly call for good skills and learning new skills, but they are such that enough people can do it that the market doesn't have to offer big money.
Wanna solid professional future? Consider air traffic control...No kidding
A colleague of mine just retired at age 50 after 25 years and tells me that since the entire industry was fired in 1982 by Ronald Reagan, the "new" wave of ATCs who replaced them during the mid 80s are retiring in waves during the year 2007-2012
Starts at about $30K...third year about $45K...fifth year $60K...full federal bennies, free air flights nationwide....
Get on the night shift and have plenty of time to handicap sports during slow air traffic hours...heh
See faa.gov for more details on requirements because frankly they ain't all that much for a smart young man or woman. (They don't hire over age 30)
My own 22 year old son is entering university for first time this fall in part because he's very interested in taking this path.
