Post subject:  Getting into broadcasting (without the degree) HELP ME DECIDE WHAT TO MAJOR IN :D?

(Im a freshmen in college) i am really interested in majoring in broadcasting (tv & radio) but i know it is a big risk taker when it comes to finding jobs...im also interested in the business side of radio and tv like promotion advertising and marketing

SO...

should i major in either marketing or advertising? since there is more job opportunities but still attempt to get into broadcasting (and if i dont make it then ill still have the marketing or advertising degree)

would i be able to get into broadcasting without having majored in broadcasting?

No tv or radio station will ever ask what your major was. That is the biggest shock when you apply for jobs. If you have a "dream voice" or the "perfect personality" , the manager might hire you on the spot. Many broadcasters have little education and they do a great job. They are able to be at ease in front of a tv camera or behind a microphone.
The advertising side of tv and radio is a bit depressing. Endless calling on local businesses to buy an ad. Get "on air".
