Hi,
I am really torn, not sure what to do. I am 30 this year, and not sure what the hell i'm doing with my life!
I won't bore you but i've floated along for years, not sure what I want to do. Over the last 2 years i've developed an interest in Media/Broadcasting and would love a career within that industry, presenting in some capacity.
I currently work at a small, community radio station doing some producing and the odd bit of presenting. Money is minimum wage, and can't progress with this particular company.
Part of me feels I should stick with learning the ropes (not been there long) and try and work my way up, sending demos off, trying to find work experience in other places and hopefully move on from where I am at the moment in the next year. The other part is telling me to go to Uni and get a Degree in Journalism/Broadcast Journalism as I feel that will open other doors?
Can anyone advise me what they would do in my shoes? FWIW i'd have to do an Access course before Uni and I have a 5 year old and will be TTC in a few month for my second (and last) child.
Do I need a Degree for a career in the media or will experience and trying to get myself out there be more beneficial? Anyone with any experience of either of these degrees?
