I mean, if you end up moving to the west coast after college... I'll already be gone. But I'd be happy to put a good word in for you at the place I work. Any time in the next two or so years would be good because they're trying to raise a rippin' bongload of money for a move to a new home.

My boss has urged me several times now to apply to the development positions, which open up maybe every four to six months. It would get me onto a more regular schedule there (rather than the totally piecemeal schedule I now work dependent on production needs, budget allowances and harmony with my other job, which pays too much to put in the backseat at this point) and more security. It's almost worth it to me. But I'd be terrible at development, and I love production too much.

But hey! All the more room for a fresh-faced radio entrepreneur to bust in and grab life by the short and curlies.

To the best of my knowledge, all development new hires started as interns in a program that lasts 6 months. Talent is mined heavily from that arrangement. Helps to have recommendations, which I'd be happy to give, if the situation ever arose.
