Academic Plan

My academic plan for the next few years is a simple one, albeit not a sure thing. As of this moment, I'm planning to earn a degree in mass communications/broadcasting, and go on to Kansas State University to earn a Bachelor's in business. I hope to take the degrees I receive, both here and at K-State, to a radio station and get on as a radio deejay, and possibly as an advertising or promotions director. Where I go to settle, though, is undecided as well. A large city would put my degrees to good use and challenge my abilities, but on the other hand, as radio becomings outdated, my also simply outsource me. A small town would not be as challenging, but the risk of being replaced by digitized radio or XM radio would not be as great. But I digress; in order to achieve these goals, I'll be taking a number of mass comm. classes here at Butler. Applied radio, radio production, and mass comm. classes will help immensely, and are required for my degree, whilst acting and vocal lessons will help with the artistic side of radio. I think that having a well rounded education will help land the job I desire whenever I'm ready to begin my career. I suppose I'll just have to wait to see if I'm right...
