Why anyone would want to work in radio right now, I have no idea.

[Fallon]

What a bunch of dicks. Wait a week and let them graduate.

[JohnGacysCrawlSpace]

Thank god they won't pumping out anymore radio gold like Intern David.

CSB = Fail Dozser

Seriously!

The world needs more podcasters.

Wait, Intern David was CSB?

Seriously, the only success story I've heard from CSB is Beningo, and the story behind that is that Joe went to CSB only after he made contacts at WFAN. It's not like he went to CSB and was magically handed the WFAN gig.

I've only worked with one person who graduated from CSB, and the only reason she got a job where I worked after the fact is because she was noticed for her great rack.

i know a bunch of people who used to work in radio that went to the c.s.o.b.

wait, i thought that was the only way women got any jobs, ever.

Especially since they just had a media buy on WFAN.

I think they overexpanded, but I'm trying to figure out how they got out of business. They are a radio trade school, not a radio station. They rely on tuition, not ad dollars. If one school was struggling, you'd shut it - not all 26.

THere's more to this story.

[midwestjeff]

I still don't know why we let them work at all.

We're back from the war. Enough already.

CSB is the biggest load of crap in the world. You can learn more about working in radio - and getting your foot in the door - by doing an internship and working your ass off.

A friend of mine started with me as an intern. She worked her ass off for 3 years, and she finally worked her way up to her first full-time gig. All with the same company.

How did it work out for you?

[underdog]

Wasn't this school just basically a joke school like the University of Phoenix, Blaine School of Beauty, ITT Tech, or Rutgers?

[Tenbatsuzen]

How did it work out for you?

Funny story. You should wait for the book.

I miss radio, but my bank account doesn't.

Every time I hear Dave complaining about money on the air, I cringe - because I've been there. I know what it feels like. That's what powered my decision to get out of the business.

It worked out OK for J Dubs. And he didn't even pay!

[Tenbatsuzen]

I didn't phrase that right. I hired her as an intern when I was full time.

It kinda of depends.


I'm sure they teach you a lot of stuff, but it's the same kind of stuff you'd learn if you interned at a station.

I applied there, but I think they wanted like, 7k for a 16 week course.

Internships are free, except for the college credit you pay for.

Why are you so great? I mean that honestly. You're great.

[made cummsies]

I guess Artie and Rush won't have anywhere to go for a reunion.

[hammersavage]

Oh the pain!

[DonInNC]

I guess Artie and Rush won't have anywhere to go for a reunion.

So it was a broadcasting school AND a rehab clinic?

[topless_mike]

as an intern, you'd learn what do to.
going to a school, you'll learn why you do it.

just my .02

[Devo37]

serves them right for those radio commercials calling themselves "The CSB School of Broadcasting".

The Connecticut School of Broadcasting School of Broadcasting?!?!? :blink:

University of Phoenix is actually for real. My sister took 2 courses with them to satisfy requirements for her masters in special ed with University of Illinois.

Shocked me too.

University of Phoenix is huge. Especially in, well, Phoenix. I mean, they have enough money to name a stadium.

They are a for-profit commercial enterprise and are almost exclusively virtual. corporate HQ is in Phoenix(apparently they will rent space in an office bldg...occasionally). They are traded as Apollo Group on the NYSE.

The stadium is just a naming deal like CitiField.

not a rehab clinic, its where those two talentless fat fucks went to score oxy

I didn't say a college team played there. I said they had enough money to name a stadium.

Beningo won some contest where they gave callers a show or something way back when. he used to call alot and just dominate the hosts. So yea, after his contest show, they kinda sent him to learn how to use everything and gave him a gig

[Freitag]

I just looked at the Apollo Group's stock history since 2007.

Holy crap, BUY MORTIMER BUY

Their "Campuses" are usually rooms or floors office buildings.

As for the stock... Stocks like Apollo and DeVry (DV) do very well in a poor economy as people look to get new skills. It's only a few shares, but I bought DeVry in 2003-2004 @ 15 closed today @ 44. But then again most of my SEP was in AIG. So what the hell do I know?

[A.J.]

I just spent the past couple of days in Connecticut and the state is inconsolable.

The more I learn what happened to AIG, the more I facepalm myself. It seems to me that every single piece of the business was strong as hell except for that rogue group that most of the company didn't know what the fuck they were doing, and that one group destroyed the entire business.
