Your dream is your dream. I understand how badly you may want something. I felt that way too.
When I finished the post-degree J program at MRU, I was very lucky because I had a friend who was a connection to get me a job in Calgary. If not, I would've been working in Medicine Hat, Brooks, Lethbridge etc. Keep in mind, I certainly have nothing against those markets, but generally, that's exactly where graduates needs to go to find employment out of school.
I'm 3.5 years into a broadcasting career, with most of my focus thus far on radio. I can tell you that I'm exhausted and feel like I've basically gone...no where. As mentioned above, I get paid very poorly, the hours are awful, and it takes over your life. I love broadcasting. I love sports broadcasting. However...the cons are out-weigh the pros.
My suggestion...do freelance broadcasting and pursue another career if you can. I'm moving into communications, while doing freelance stuff on the side.
Drop me a line if you want and we can chat more.
