Imagine graduating and your job is to hang out on college campuses, where people who work for you are getting people excited about music. I said, 'You're going to pay me to do that?' It was the greatest job, never having to grow up. |
The company's college rep program has been going on since 1969, and it's extremely well-established. Many people have moved up to successful jobs after working as reps. |
The radio station was our frat house. We made a lot of noise; it was the ultimate farm team approach. My favorite part was watching the music go from an unknown entity to a popular item people wanted to buy on Marshall Street.
