But I wonder if this at least partially explains the enormous chip on your shoulder and your persistent need to somehow 'prove yourself''. Why would building a #1 station in a market with 40 signals at age 18 require proving myself... again? And actually, I went back to school nearly a decade later and did quite nicely, while at the same time programming a group of radio stations. The problem is that you just supposedly receieved a GED, which a poor- man's high-school diploma. And was a 4.0 GPA student at a fairly decent university. Which one? Much like Michael Bryant, you're not to be trusted, and we'd like to check. ASU, school of business. What years, and just what is 'ASU'? |

When I went back to school, I wanted to study what I thought useful and relevant, not a proscribed specialization or major with course requirements. I took everything from sociology and cultural anthropology to statistics, math and literature. I only took one broadcast course, in fact. I quit the university when a headhunter convinced me that running a radio group was going to be more productive than getting a degree the employer did not care one hoot about, anyway. That's fine. I don't care about your career path, but you must realize that no one is going to be impressed by the GPA of a person who never crossed the finish line. That's like boasting that you once led the Boston Marathon...for the first five seconds. Not the same. I am in a field where the ability to perform is measured, not the ability to complete classes. If you look around, I think you'll find that this is true in most areas of business. There are no degrees required in most positions, in fact. Except for entry level positions, educational background is pretty much ignored That's fine, and consistent with everything I said. The point is that, since education matters so little in your field, it's odd to see you crowing about your college GPA while conveniently failing to volunteer that you never graduated. That's our Edweenie! He'll be fraudulent until his dying day. |

I have even spoken at industry seminars about the inapplicability of communications and broadcast courses of study, since they miss so much of the social sciences and the technical disciplines like math and statistics as well as the business courses needed in the business. I am proud to have created my own broadcast curriculum, even if would never have gotten me a degree. That's great...and consistent with everything I said. Since a formal education is so unimportant in your field, I'm sure you will no longer be tempted to boast about your GPA while failing to mention that you never graduated. Of course, that you boast about it at all suggests that it is, in your view, of some importance. And your failure to mention that you never graduated is, again, like someone's boasting that they once led the Boston Marathon while neglecting to mention that they led only for the first five seconds. You aren't doing yourself any favors today. |

I think it is about 110... have no exact idea (including transfer credits) You've claimed in the past to have 140 college credits, and to have gone to 'college' in both Ecuador and Puerto Rico. I have about 30 loose credits from PR and college credit training. I also have totally non-transferable credits from two universities in Ecuador. The point is that the total number is irrelevant, as they can not be combined for a degree and I have no interest in a degree... |

Ah but in that case, since you are well beyond your school days, your GPA boasts make little sense. Either that or your formal education is more of an issue than you let on.

You aren't doing yourself any favors today. I never said I did graduate. I said I attended college; someone who graduated would mention the degree and the major. Correct. Yours was a sin of omission, not commission, but dishonest all the same--and still further evidence that you do not, after all, view formal education as of little importance for someone senior in your profession. |
