Clip of the Week - March 17/08

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Who says people are in the media profession are out of shape, over worked and under payed? Actually, in Canada most of them are...well, under payed at least.


As a former member of the Canadian media, I can tell you people in this profession are grossly under payed for the amount of work they do and especially if you compare their wages to those in the same profession in the U.S. It isn't even close.

As for being out of shape, it's a toss up. Some professions are worse than others. Radio is probably the media profession that has the most overweight employees. Lets face it, the announcers job is to sit on their butts and talk to a microphone. I did that for over 13 years and my butt grew larger every year. But it was fun.

The part of the job I really enjoyed was getting out and meeting people and broadcasting on location. I'm sure reporter Rob Leth from Global TV in Toronto used to enjoy location broadcasts until this happened.
