Graduating from high school would not have helped me at all and has never

And lying your f00kin ass off!

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.

And this may be one of the reasons radio is in the pickle it's in.

Oh, not really. This is just something lots of people pretend after
they flunk out of school.

I guess they didn't go to very good schools or didn't work hard
enough. Pity.

There may not be much room for learning in radio broadcasting, but
there's plenty of room for it in life. Trust me on this one.

Radio is not in a pickle. It is simply, like light bulbs, a mature, slow
growth business now. And will be for many years to come. Of course, the
company I am with increased its revenue 13% in Q4 of 2007, so I am in a high
growth, pickle-less sector of radio.

Except for the fact that I did not flunk out. I quit school (Colegio
Americano de Quito) the week my station went on the air.

You have a very restricted mindset when you believe that learning can only
take place within the walls of academia. There is nothing stopping me from
reading Cervantes in the original or Joyce or picking up calculus if I want
to buy a couple of books.

Really? Then where does all of this desperation come from?

I'm sure the same is true of everyone else who failed to graduate.

This is what people always say after they've flunked. It is so old
hat. Be bitter, if you must, but at least be original.

d'Eduardo - That goes for many "Creative" Endeavors based
on the the Individual's Sense {Feeling} of Sefl-Expression
and Awareness.

- The people I find fault with in the industry are those who

d'Eduardo - So why then are you so devoted to your Sacred
Arbitron Numbers . . . ~ RHF

- 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.

You certainly qualify as a BS artist.
