Broke, oh faux one? So very sad. You should have graduated high school.


Graduating from high school would not have helped me at all and has never
been a factor in business. It's all about successful work experience.


Nobody cares if you got a HS diploma or not. People care about what you
post to the news group, which is mostly crap with just a smidgen of
truth in a bid to make it believable.

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 forma education, but you
find them to be excellent autodidacts. 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.

You certainly qualify as a BS artist.

This is what a lot of people say who failed to graduate from college.

Wait a minute...you said high school? Are you serious? You failed to
graduate from high school? That's not funny.


That's what happens when you get caught cheating on a test. You get
thrown out.

What strikes me as bizarre about you... er, that should be "exceedingly
bizarre" since nearly everything about you is somewhat bizarre... is your
repeated focus on high school diplomas. One is obviously not needed if a
person is intelligent and a bit of an autodidact.


This is what lots of people say who flunk. However, if they're
actually intelligent, they should have no trouble excelling in their
studies.


I excelled in high school and college (Dean's list), but was bored by most
of the classes, which moved with incredible slowness.

Since most classroom time
is wasted while the slowest learners are attended to, most high school
classes are boring and frustrating to those of some ability. Yet you seem
to
wish all teens to be doomed to this experience, which dulls the mind and
stifles creativity... why is that?


The most talented students don't allow themselves to be frustrated and
bored, and usually have no trouble pursuing studies at whatever rate
is best for them.


Sitting in a class waiting for the dolts to "get it" is very frustrating. In
the end, it was not worth it.

No, I did not renew... a few ornery DXers who are against radio as a

They told you not to Renew.


No, I got multiple e-mails from club officers and long term members
asking
me to continue.


To continue not renewing? How interesting can false information be after
a while?


To continue as a member...

Better to "fake it", right?

Nope, the headhunter firm of Joe Sullivan, Inc. came calling and offered
me
a VP position at a publicly traded company to run their broadcast
division.
Since I had gone to college because I was consulting and had lots of free
time, this was no loss as I didn't have need for a degree... what I
wanted
was to give some structure to my knowledge of business and finance (radio
management) and the social sciences such as psychology, sociology,
cultural
anthropology (radio programming, in other words) and math and statistics
(research and ratings)... which I achieved. It also allowed me to learn
business terminology in English, which I had little familiarity with.


Crap.. you grew up with English, you frickin', lying little retard!


I grew up in a multilingual home. My mother, who spent years in Europe,
spoke several languages, and my grandmother, daughter of the US ambassador
to Germany, spoke German to us so we would be exposed.

By age 13 or 14, I was listening mostly to Latin American radio and music,
and over the years had many years of French and 6 years of Latin. I was, in
fact, in a multicultural environment. At about age 6, I enjoyed flying a
Brazilian flag in front of the house because I had a vision of travelling
the Amazon.

BS us some more, Gleason!


Not all people are monocultural xenophobes.

As long as you promised not to actually show up.
