My broadcast on a college radio station pays me enough money to keep my inventory of songs up to date. It's easy enough to get a mainstream radio gig but you will have very little control over the selection of music you play.
Since I spin music as a labor of love, I have very little interest in a career as a "radio personality." I did that for a few years, got great Arbitron ratings but hated every minute of it.
So 10 years ago, I moved from the east coast to the heartland and got broadcast gig that I produce, program and host at a college station. It pays a pittance but I'll never spin another Madonna record again, even if someone puts a gun to my head.
If you want to broadcast or be a club deejay, don't give up,. but I'd be lying to you if I told you that it was the road to riches.
