[SBE] In Need of Mentoring

[A9xw at cs.com]

There are often engineering intern jobs at non union stations, PBS is a 
good place to look.  In major markets likely less opportunities because unions 
prevent free help.  Radio tends to have one engineer per group per market 
and the  rest are contractors. Non tech jobs have more opportunities for 
interns. Learn traffic (program logs) sales, news, and then hang around the other 
areas to learn what you can. When I got into the biz Broadcasting magazine 
would have a dozen pages of help wanted ads. Now if I see one or two per 
month in any publication its a big month and most are for high level people. 
There are always opening for "talent" because few have enough to make it so 
the bosses are always looking for "a fresh new face."  The standard joke is on 
air talent own a u-haul trailer.
