Interview

I had my phone interview for the Radio Appreticeship program. It's a 6 month program where you work with a mentor at a radio station to get your foot in the door. From all these jobs I have been looking at for on air radio work. They all want "EXPERIENCE" which I have none of at the moment. I have this great little idea and this goal to get it done.

But the interview went really well. I was told I have the pipes and the passion to do this program. But the catch is money. I need to come up with the money to pay for this. I would prefer not to tack on another student loan which are already really high at the moment. But I would really want to do this program. My parents make to much money for me to get any grants (that I am aware of anyway. Fucking Bush) It's a 6 month training working at a radio station doing everything.

So right now I have one week to figure out how I will raise the money to do this program. I really do not want to do the monthly payment program that they offer since it is a bit steep for my current situation. But I really want to get out there. If all goes well I should be done with School in March if I can get into this final class that is always crowded I am told.

If you listen to the carcast you will see that I am up for this new job doing tech support for a company I will not mention that pays 3x what I am making now. But right now this current tight spot I am financially is just this barrier that I am hitting that I cannot climb over right now. So right now I am searching the internet for scholarships and free money but when you go to these websites I notice they are nothing but ads trying to get you to sign up for their other programs. I don't want that. I want $4k to do this program. I am willing to write essays, cluck like a chicken on a roof. This is just a difficult time right now. Have to figure out what to do.

Nothing in life is free right. You regret the opportunites you do not take. Any thoughts? Any Websites?
