When you graduate, so long as you went to a decent school and got a bachelor’s degree, no one will care that it was in journalism. It’s a liberal arts degree, and you’ll be just as qualified for any entry level job (so long as you did that internship) as anyone else coming out with a liberal arts degree. So don’t obsess.

Again, if you find something you prefer, then change. Otherwise, don’t worry too much.

When I first got into radio after my trade school experience…I got hired above 5 other “radio personalities” which of whom had degrees in broadcasting. When I was hired at the time I asked the program director why he hired me over the degree holders and he had told me it was because I sounded better and I was already trained for the job and that degrees, although nice to have, are not what you look for when hiring “radio personalities”.

So anyways…there are a lot out there that train for all areas of broadcasting. But not matter where you go make sure that the school you attend is nationally accredited. That way you can get financial aid and you know that your money is actually going for your education! Also when checking into broadcasting schools…make sure they don’t give you a line like “you have to try out” or “wow…you sound good…I’m going to give you a scholarship”…all they want is your money. They could care less if you get a job or not.

I personally attended the American Broadcasting School. (which is nationally accredited) and I have had a wonderful and successful career for over 10 years now!

Hope this has helped you a little bit. Good luck with your decision!

good luck frienf.
