My long time goal is to work in a radio station and ultimately, one day, become a radio director or producer. Ive done a bit of research on what they DO but have been unable to find out the best college degrees to get in order to set me off in that path. I realize that you dont go directly from college to radio director positions but what are the basic steps to achieving director positions?

Las Vegas is a top 50 market, while Grand Junction is in the 180s. I ask because I've been told by professors and those in the news field that recent graduates usually start out in smaller markets. The starting point for production jobs seems like it would be a be at a higher spot than reporting. Just reread my original post, here's a little clarification. I'd leave Vegas, currently 42, and go to Grand Junction, 183.

I am considering pursuing a career as a Creative Director, but I want to be sure exactly what this entails. From what I understand, CDs oversee the management of projects for company - from the initial idea, to the product design, to the advertisement, to the public launch party. I like this so far, however, as a CD do you still get to have your own input in each step. Do you get to criticize the graphics and make suggestions? Do you ever get to do some hands on collaborative work on the product development (such as naming it or brainstorming the package design)? Lastly, how do you go about becoming a CD? What if I have already completed undergrad with a non-artistic degree, but am looking into Art and Design Graduate Programs? Where do I go from here?

Hi. I work as an account executive for a minority daily newspaper in the US. Unlike other A/E in mainstream media, I can very less money. I want to set up relationships with big advertising agencies to expand my network, and eventually draw ads into my newspaper. I tried so many advertising agencies, but all I had are voice mails and no responses except the front desk receptionist. My question is how can I reach those people in advertising agencies? Any advice is welcomed. Thank you very much.

My question is.... What does it take to work in the movie business? I love planning/coordinating things and I think I'm pretty good at it too. Add that to the fact that I love movies and tvs and always wonder how special effects are done or WHY some scenes are shot at specific angles, I think this could be a very interesting career for me. I'm almost graduating from high school and my gpa is around 3.7 so I think I can get into most universities. So readers, can you give me a few suggestions on which school is best for these kind of jobs, and what major I need. BTW, universities and high academic post institution are mandatory for me in case I do not succeed in this business
