No Sugarcoating With this Book

"It must be sooo much fuuuun to be a DJ!" Being in radio, lines like this are common themes that I hear from non-radio people. And radio IS fun, except for the crummy pay, behind-the-scenes office politics (aka "screwjobs"...losing promotions for simply not kissing enough backside, etc.), and lousy hours. Radio is not as glamorous as it seems from the outside, and Chris Weigant puts it all out there for you in his book, "Careers as a Disc Jockey". He warns the reader about all the stressful aspects of radio I have listed as well as the benefits, like the "efficiency" of modern-day radio automation. If you're thinking of getting into radio, read this before you make your decision. It is a business you need to be prepared for.
