Now that I've graduated and all...

Yer killing me here LOL

Nobody that mattered. You'll find many enemies in the broadcast business. You think High School was bad/childish? Just wait until you start making a name for yourself in the broadcast industry.

The term "team player" isn't always a bad thing. There are certian things in life that require it. Trucking is a "team" event, every position is critical. You just hold your meetings via phone.

I'm going to sound like a recruiter. But stack 4-8 years of your life up spinning your wheels going no where, against 2-8 years of Military with specialized training and extra $$$$ for more college/training after you leave.

Three meals a day...paid. A warm (most times) place to sleep...paid.

No every Military person sees combat.

Yes and no...that's where experience comes in.

As long as it's legal

Personally, I think he's lost his ##### mind. But, that's his cross to bear.

I understand completely.

 

Little known fact about high school grades
(speaking statistically of course there are exceptions to this)
A students become teachers. They did so good in school they stay there. Some spent so much time with their nose in a book that when they got out in the real world they found out it was nothing like the books they had read and so they go back to their books and start teaching.

B students become employees. They are teachable but not very inventive. You show them how to do the job and they will continue to do the job reliably until you show them how to do something else.

C students manage companies. They were more interested in social activity's in school than book work and never exerted themselves towards their schoolwork. They tend to be better with people and you probably work for one now.

D students own the companies. They didn't care what anyone thought about them in school and so they didn't listen to the committee called they when they said "You can't make it own your own." D students are idea people. They are often the most creative and inventive. They are not afraid of failure and therefore will try something new.


Now my point is:
It does not matter what you have done or what people here or anywhere else think you should do. Do your own research and set your own path. Don't go into the military because someone else told you to. Don't go to college because all your friends are. If you do something because your parents want you to and it doesn't work out, then you are going to be mad at your parents. It is your life. Forget what you have done in the past and look into your own future.

The best advice I have ever heard is:
Where do you want to be in 10 years? Now find someone who is already there and pick their brain. Find out how they got there. What did they do right? Find out the mistakes they made and avoid them. Set a 5 year goal to be own your way to your 10 year goal. Every time you have to decide you ask yourself will this help me reach my 5 year goal.

 

you're doing the right thing, get your degree in radio. when you get the bug to drive a truck & if it doesn't work out you have that job in radio to fall back on. good luck in what adventure you do .
