Students should look for specialized training programs outside of conventional colleges and universities, such as Get A Mentor, an apprentice-mentor association that connects students with professionals in a given field.  They offer radio, film, sound engineering, and broadcasting internships.

The program enables students to get the education necessary for the career they want without having to attend college.  The professional (known as the mentor) personally educates the student, providing arranged “learning experiences”  as well as training through course manual work to augment the hands on learning.

What makes Get A Mentor different is the training is individualized, flexible, and much more affordable than traditional universities.  Applicants can range in age anywhere from 16 to 69, and there is only a one time fee of $6,000 (much cheaper than college!).  Half of the money goes to the mentor for their time and effort and the other half is used to cover the advertising and administrative costs of Get A Mentor.
