Whoever said, “Do what you love and you’ll never work another day in your life,” is a liar, especially when it comes to education for what one loves. I cannot stress enough to you that your education has to be practical and not a love-affair.
Community college courses, vocational schools and on-the-job training are invaluable tools to keep you employed. I wish I had known this before I headed down the educational road I selected.
I have a doctorate in theology — the study of man’s relationship with God — and for all intent and purpose, it has done me no good at all as I cannot find work in my chosen career field of radio news.
Besides, terrestrial radio as we know it today will be obsolete within the next five to 15 years, replaced by the Internet and personal devices. So jus’ remember – whatever you decide to study, be of a practical mind about it.
Believe me, life is so much better when one is working – whether you love the job or not. And at the moment, I’ll take any job I can find.
