I don't know whether this is true in your case or not, but I find it staggering that ALL college broadcasting teachers don't pound this into their students heads.
It is possible to move directly from college into large markets -- but highly unlikely.
Broadcasting is an industry where you really have to climb the ladder -- both market size and pay wise. To not let students know that is next to criminal in my opinion.
When I was adjunct faculty at the University of Colorado, you can be sure we had that discussion.
I just can't imagine how frustrating all of those who send their resumes out to NY, LA and Chicago must feel when they get nothing in return.
Shelley, congrats on the TW job. I think they're a pretty good company. Be aggressive, learn all you can, stay cheerful, keep a positive attitude and work hard. That's what it takes to succeed in industry today.
