Pat Pearson is a name I reccognize, only because my pops is an instructor at SAIT... not anywhere close to the Radio/Broadcasting side being talked about.
He hasn't been involved in almost a decade now. The program is being run by Steve Olsen, Richard "Big Dick" Stroobant, and Louise Lutic.
Richard wasn't there when I took the class, but I managed to work with him when he was a producer at CJAY and Vibe.
Thing is for me, I chased that carrot, and hated what it made me become. Getting out of the industry when I did in 2006 was one of the hardest things to do. I worked in the banking industry for three years, and always itched to get back in. I'm based in a small market outside of Calgarty right now, and love it.
Who knows if I'll ever get back into major market. But I know I'm happy now, but it took finding myself down some dark avenues to get there. But I'm a husband and father now, and as Jiri said... it's not the easiest path, but that's my job. I just go play for 8 hours a day now, and collect the paycheque that comes with it.
