<p>What do you major in if you want to be on the radio? Communications, or is it journalism and you have to work your way onto the radio?</p>
<p>This is one of the problems I've covered in the book I am writing. You need to talk to several people--or at least one or two--who have the kind of career you would like to have in radio. Ask them how they got to where they are in their careers. Most people are happy to talk about their lives and careers if they have the time. Pick a time when they are available or ask them if you can take them to lunch. Write some letters or email, make some phone calls. College will not guarantee you a place in a competitive and creative career, most of the time. It may provide some training and some connections and, in some cases, might look good on your resume. The major may not even matter in this case, or it might depend on whether you planned to go into news, political discussion (jounalism) or other entertainment radio stuff. I have a feeling it would very much help if the college you attend has an actual radio station of its own that you could work on. If it does not, consider changing colleges. If changing colleges does not seem like an option for one reason or another, then consider that it only takes a few thousand dollars to start a small campus radio station and you might be just the person to do it. You can buy kits, with instructions, on the Internet. Or try C. Crane radio catalog (online, I believe) for more info.</p>
