why? do you live somewhere cold? Not really, it's just that all the pools around here tend to be privately owned, the rivers aren't very accessible and the ocean is three hours away.

Now I have to resort to bribery to get people to come here. And I'm still unemployed.

I have a bachelor's degree in Visual Communications (basically a cross between journalism and graphic design). I would like to do something that is related to this; I spent 6 years as an undergrad (transferred twice, 4 different majors, thousands of dollars in debt) and I don't want it to have been for nothing.

Oh, I know what you mean. I transferred once and almost nothing I had taken at the first college counted for anything but electives at the second college. Ugh! And the debt...I put most of my undergrad education on my credit card. Ever consider working for a local TV station? With that type degree it sounds like it would be a good fit.

And the debt...I put most of my undergrad education on my credit card. Ever consider working for a local TV station? With that type degree it sounds like it would be a good fit. Several issues here: 1. During my coursework, I received virtually no opportunities to work with video. My professors pushed us heavily towards print work (newspaper and magazine layout and graphics). 2. Before I ended up in this major, I was in the broadcast journalism path, but I really didn't get to do much in terms of anything I could put on a resumé tape. A lot of theory, but virtually no practice. 3. I completed my major classes in three semesters. They require that you spend at least a year in the program before you get an internship, and that you not have one during your final semester. 4. All the positions I've seen that were open require at least 2-4 years experience, or education that I don't have.

All the positions I've seen that were open require at least 2-4 years experience, or education that I don't have. Well, there are other ways in, if you really want to do it. -You could do some post-grad work...enough to get the internship and, therefore, practical experience and a resume tape. -Look at jobs you're overqualified for...part time desk assistant or part-time audio tech or something like that. Be willing to work odd hours. It's not too hard to get promoted or switch departments once your 'in'. (I went from stringer to desk assistant to associate producer to prodecer in 4 years.) And don't just apply at the top rated station in your market. They get to be pickier about qualifications because of their ratings. But don't be afraid to apply in a major market...the bigger the market, the more jobs available. -You could start out as a stringer (freelance work) - which is what I did. And I was a 19 year old college junior; closest thing I had to journalism experience was being editor of my high school yearbook. Never shot video, hardly ever used a computer. Didn't tell them that. Nothing like on the job training. ;D

They will be making one more round of cuts soon; those who pass this round will be interviewed.
