When I was a child, I used to play with my mom's old 45's & a record player, pretending I was a radio deejay. I did this numerous times.
When I got older, I used to make mix tapes for myself where I pretended to be a deejay, doing a Top 20 countdown show.
I attended college, where my major was broadcasting.
I have interviewed & even auditioned for over half the radio stations in my area.
I have been "loyal" (so to speak) to the same s****y job going on 16 years, where I have received 4 promotions & numerous raises & I am at the point where I can't move up anymore unless I want to take a salaried position.
My brother is 3 years older then me. He has had close to 4 dozen jobs since high school (circa 1989). He has worked numerous fields, such as real estate, animal control, bar manager, promotions manager, bartender, etc, etc, etc.
And I just found out today that he now is a part time weekend deejay for a radio station.
WTF!!!
Yes, I admit I am jealous. That has been my childhood dream! That's what I went to school for!
AND HE'S LIVING MY DREAM!!
Can you honestly blame me for being pissed off?
I actually have more experience in the field then him.
He is the most irresponsible person I know. He hides his car because he has a repoman looking for it....again. This isn't the first vehicle this has happened with.
I am a homeowner, he's a renter. I have a steady job, he jumps from job to job to job to job & works 2 jobs at a time. I have a family, he tries to pick up girls via myspace & Facebook that are over 10 years YOUNGER then him.
I am responsible, he's not.
I know I got it better then him, but I spent thousands of dollars to go to college for broadcasting & I am a freaking manager in a grocery store. Yep, got me somewhere.
But I am still allowed to be pissed off because he is working my dream job & he knows it's my dream job!
