Real-Life Decision Making
You're working as a DJ at a new radio station, the X FM. The station is
edgy, it plays today's hippest tunes, and you have creative freedom. No one
is too sure about the future of the station, but things seem steady and people
are saying it's probably a good place to be.
The managers are internet-savvy and definitely forward-thinking. Your pay
isn't great, but you love your job, and your boss says a raise is in the future.
Then, you get a call from CNEWS FM. They need a DJ for one of their music
shows. CNEWS is an older, more conservative station. They have been in town
for 20 years and show no sign of going away. Their numbers are consistent,
they are more old-school in approach, and their website looks like it was
designed in the '90s.
The pay is much better than at your current job, but it probably won't
change much as the years go by. It's consistent, solid work. You will have
no say in what you play on your show, though, and they don't have much interest
in newer music. Still, the music isn't terrible.
What would you do?
