That's pretty cool man. Charlottesville is really pretty. There is some less than decent school out there called UVA, bunch of wahoos out there. J&W is another very reputable school. Strange coincidence, my GF has always wanted to go to culinary school, but decided to go into teaching (Marketing). Pretty unique Dude

Off subject but a little advice for anyone who wants to go to culinary. DO NOt waste your money going to a big school that is supposed to be the best like J&W or CIA. You can get the same education at a community college. I went to Delgado too and paid 4k a year and got a much better education. My tuition at J&W was 30k a year. I would also tell them to get a degree in marketing or business first and work in restaurants while they are getting that degree. If they still like it after that then go to culinary.

ditto for radio. dont go to "broadcast school," or major in "broadcasting," unless you want to end up working at Starbucks. Radio is dying. And if you do want on the air, just intern instead, be a go-fer & work your way up. The worst guys I ever heard all went to school for it.

back on topic: ROCK ON SPIKE-BUH!!!!! KICK THE PANTHERS AZZ!

My first gig was a board op midnight to 6am on the weekends. Then Riding the board for all the church and countdown shows on Sunday. After a few months of that I got a 'talking' shift overnight weekdays. Met some interesting people. Partied a lot.

Funny thing - all I ever wanted to do was be a rock-n-roll roadie but was always afraid to just run away and 'join the circus'...like radio was any different?

What the hell is this thread about?

Oh yeah, we better win...
