In the broadcast industry, where programming and content creation is more
of
an art than a learned science, the education level of a job applicant is
seldom reviewed. Only in positions like accounting would some academic
credentials or certifications be required. What is looked at is career
achievements. What is not looked at is whether someone graduated from
high
school.

Maybe this is part of the problem with radio as an industry. It's
people aren't reasonably well-educated. It's probably time for it to
raise its standards and as it recruits sharper, more educated people
perhaps some of its problems can be solved.

- Many of the best people in radio are not big on formal
- education, but you find them to be excellent autodidacts.

and Awareness.

- The people I find fault with in the industry are those who
- have learned, generally in school, a rigid mindset and are
- encumbered by rules on what works and does not work.

- Since radio broadcasting is not a field where there is
- much to be learned in college, intelligence and work
- experience is often better than specific training.

Applied Intelligence -coupled- with Work Experience
is about as "Specific a Training Regiment as One Gets.

Radio may be a Field where Hands-On Experienc gives
one a "Feel" for the Industry that Book-Learning can not
by itself Provide.
