When you are comparing the non-commercial world with the commercial
world...yeah, students get no respect.

A student has missed a whole big area...by not working in the commercial end
of the business.

So, while board work, engineering, etc..may have given you some
experiences...commercial radio is another animal entirely.  Sor...ergo...the
is less respect from those that make their living and budgets by the
numbers.
