There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to pursue a radio career, and this session will explore numerous pathways you can take into a paid career in media. 


Andrea Ho will talk about her career trajectory, drawing from her experience as hiring manager in metro and regional markets and now preparing students for careers, to discuss how you can navigate your own pathway in the radio industry. You’ll also hear stories of the steps people took to turn their hobby into a full-time occupation and long-lasting career, and gain an insight on how flexible study options at AFTRS can help you achieve your career aspirations.
